Could it be it's the commit after the import?  The one
that removes __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS/__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS from
common-defs.h?

Looking at the import (49e4877c5487), we see that stdint.h
now relies on a new limits.h replacement, which sounds suspicious.

# The substitute stdint.h needs the substitute limit.h's _GL_INTEGER_WIDTH:

+  LIMITS_H=limits.h
+   if test -n "$LIMITS_H"; then
+  GL_GENERATE_LIMITS_H_TRUE=
+  GL_GENERATE_LIMITS_H_FALSE='#'
+else
+  GL_GENERATE_LIMITS_H_TRUE='#'
+  GL_GENERATE_LIMITS_H_FALSE=


and it had this change:

Note the new HAVE_C99_STDINT_H check.  The _AIX check
is also curious.
