release 0.8.0 fails to build on linux

[ImOnALampshade]

Importing yaml-cpp via vcpkg is broken due to this.

When trying to build locally, the following error occurs:

The issue here seems to have been fixed in the master branch. If I clone my own version and build the master branch, everything compiles cleanly.

However, if I git checkout 0.8.0, the build fails with the same errors.

Perhaps a simple version tick would fix this issue?

[VictorEijkhout]

I just ran into the same thing. I fixed it by

sed -i -e 3i\"\#include <cstdint>\"  src/*.cpp

Considering that a commit seems to have been made 2 months ago, is it time for a new release?
