A data point using egcs 1.1.2 on my linux box:

gosford [~] % cat test.c
#ifndef __cplusplus
#include <stdbool.h>
#endif
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  printf("%d\n", sizeof(bool));

  return 0;
}
gosford [~] % gcc test.c
gosford [~] % ./a.out
4
gosford [~] % g++ test.c
gosford [~] % ./a.out
