>Description:
The following code cannot be compiled with c++ under NetBSD:

#include <stdbool.h>

bool foo;

Of course, ISO C++ specification does not mention to stdbool.h,
but it is preferable that this code can also be compiled with c++.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
The following patch is probably suitable:
