If it's useful to you, the current stdint module works on the following
list of platforms (from CVS nightly testing):

x86 NetBSD 2.0.2
IRIX64 6.5
sparc SunOS 5.9 Generic_118558-11
BSD/OS 4.2 BSDI BSD/OS 4.2 Kernel #5
amd64 Linux 2.6.9-1.667smp #1 SMP
alpha Linux 2.2.20 #2
ppc64 Linux 2.6.5-7.97-pseries64 #1 SMP
x86 Linux 2.6.10-1.771_FC2smp
x86 Linux 2.6.8-2-386
x86 Linux 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4
sparc SunOS 5.9 Generic_112233-03

I believe it is also working on the following two hosts:

AIX 2 5
HP-UX B.11.00 U 9000/785

I am not sure how many of those platforms are actually building
lib/stdint.h.  The module may be slightly broken on IRIX.  I am working
with Larry Jones from the CVS team to develop a more comprehensive test.

Derek
