stdlib.in.h needs stdint.h for struct random_data:

struct random_data
{
  int32_t *fptr;                /* Front pointer.  */
...

So either we do:

--- a/modules/stdlib
+++ b/modules/stdlib
@@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ Depends-on:
 include_next
 link-warning
 unistd
+stdint

Or we add a new module 'random_data' that depends on stdlib+stdint, and
makes stdlib.h include stdint.h and define struct random_data.

I can see the advantages in the second alternative, to avoid having
gnulib's stdlib.h depend on stdint.h, but in the long run I'm not sure
if it is worth it.

Thoughts?
