Please never do try-compiles for such things, it doesn't work with OS X 'universal binaries' where a single library is simultaneously built for multiple architectures, any of which may have different sizes for pointers, bools, ints, etc.

(I haven't followed this issue, but the language does not require a specific size of 'bool', why do you care?)
