Summary: Conflicting declaration of int8_t on Solaris

Initial Comment:
Build fails on Solaris 10 because of the following
declaration conflict.

In file included from ./engines/sword1/animation.h:26,
                 from engines/sword1/animation.cpp:26:
./graphics/animation.h:35: error: conflicting
declaration 'typedef int8 int8_t'
/usr/include/sys/int_types.h:54: error: 'int8_t' has a
previous declaration as `typedef char int8_t'
./graphics/animation.h:35: error: declaration of
`typedef int8 int8_t'
/usr/include/sys/int_types.h:54: error: conflicts with
previous declaration `typedef char int8_t'
./graphics/animation.h:35: error: declaration of
`typedef int8 int8_t'
/usr/include/sys/int_types.h:54: error: conflicts with
previous declaration `typedef char int8_t'
gmake: *** [engines/sword1/animation.o] Error 1

This is because in config.h, int8 is defined as:
typedef signed char int8;

but it is already declared differently in int_types.h:
#if defined(_CHAR_IS_SIGNED)
typedef char                    int8_t;

The compiler doesn't like the difference, even if it
amounts to the same.

As a quick workaround, I modify config.h before
building, and it works. I don't know what would be a
clean solution, though.
