Details:

Trying to build/install avrdude-6.1 fails (at least on Mageia) due to a
missing definition of the type uint8_t.

The reason for this is that the "configure" script detects the <stdint.h>
header file as not available and, consequently, does not define the
HAVE_STDINT_H variable - although the file /usr/include/stdint.h exists in the
distro.

Fix: the script (line #5650 of the "configure" file in the 6.1 tarball)
contains a list of header files to be checked - stdint.h is missing in that
list; to fix the bug, simply add stdint.h to this list.

Verifying the file ac_cfg.h, it appears that - in addtion to <stdint.h> -
there are several other header files that likewise are not detected.

The patch file provided as an attachment corrects the "configure" script to
iterate over all files for which HAVE_<xxx>_H variables are enumerated in
ac_cfg.h. This patch has been successfully tested: avrdude now builds and
executes without problem.
