Hi maintainers,

I'm trying to build a very basic autotools project - no posix calls - just
a few source files with only standard library calls. However it does use
gnulib's base64 module and a few of its requirements like stdbool - which
brings me to the problem.

configure is failing to find _Bool defined on the system because one of the
configuration test programs is failing with the following output:

configure:5194: checking for stdbool.h that conforms to C99
configure:5269: gcc -c -g -O2  conftest.c >&5
C:\...\Temp\ccZ4szQd.s: Assembler messages:
C:\...\Temp\ccZ4szQd.s:12: Error: unknown .loc sub-directive `view'
C:\...\Temp\ccZ4szQd.s:12: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized
character is `-'
C:\...\Temp\ccZ4szQd.s:20: Error: unknown .loc sub-directive `view'

A quick google search lead me to this Fedora bugzilla issue:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1552529

It seems mingw may be using an old binutils since upgrading to gcc 8.2.0?

Thanks in advance,
John Calcote
