I'm sure I haven't, that's why someone is supposed to check this.

If the compiler is complaining that int8 is defined twice we need to check
if its already defined once and avoid a second declaration.  The problem
is setting up an appropriate environment to be relatively sure about the
result of "already defined once".  That's the usual procedure in autoconf
programming.
