[gtkmm] SUSE + gtkmm = __CHAR_BIT__ was not declared

[Murray Cumming <murrayc usa net>]

I don't use SuSE much, but trying to build gtkmm 2.2.6 (on some fairly
exotic MP Xeon hardware), I get the following strange errors. This is
SuSE 8.2, with some version of gcc 3.2. I get the same errors with the
libsigc++ 1.2 tests, but I just disabled them. Any ideas?:
