Hmm, tested all target builds and didn't/don't see any issues. Is this a
clean build? Can you confirm whether or not int8List/etc are declared in
qapi-types.h in your current build dir?
If they're not in there the file is stale and not being regenerated for some
reason. Which would be weird since qapi-visit.h seems to be getting
regenerated.
If they *are* there might be some kind of race in the QAPI build system,
because I think we rely on qapi-types.h/qapi-visit.h coming from
GENERATED_HEADERS, but otherwise being treated as parallelizable. Really,
qapi-types.h should be a dependancy of all qapi-visit.h users, and I don't
see that reflected in the Makefile unless I'm missing something.
