If that is the case then altivec.h will redefine bool to a type conflicting with those defined by stdbool.h. This breaks compilation of 18.08 on ppc64 like: mlx5_nl_flow.c:407:17: error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘__vector __bool int’ {aka ‘__vector(4) __bool int’} from type ‘int’ in_port_id_set = false; Other alternatives were pursued on [1] but they always ended up being more complex than what would be appropriate for the issue we face.
