You mean where AX_CREATE_STDINT_H has been expanded, right?

So, the src/GCint.h is the output file where the stdint definitions
should go, right? The AX macro is designed to create that output
file during config.status execution, which is automatically done
at the end of the `configure` execution, but just not in the
middle and at the line where the macro instantiation is about.

That spawns an idea: are you sure the macro had been expanded at all?
Anyway, do have you a reference for me to try out?
