     Confirming my own PR.
     
     GCC now has an internal notion of intmax_t and uintmax_t,
     but no <stdint.h> header.  The most recently suggested
     mechanism for a less fragile <limits.h>, which would also
     apply to this, would be to have an "enquire"-like program
     that generates sample <limits.h> and <stdint.h> headers
     for a given target, then include them in the distribution
     as with <float.h>.  Where the sizes of types can vary on
     a target, either the target-specific header would need
     to contain appropriate (potentially fragile) conditionals,
     or appropriate variant headers would need to be installed
     in multilib directories.
