FWIW (since I've been asked by name here) I can't see obvious issues
with the patches in this thread, but also, the GCC build system
maintainers know much better what is needed for GCC here than I do.

Using AC_TYPE_INTPTR_T outside of GCC, you'd include both inttypes.h
and stdint.h, if they are available; that's what the test does, too.
