I meant that I replaced the #include <stdint.h> in the printf/doprnt.c and
scanf/doscan.c files, not in the configure script.

I agree, this would make GMP compile out-of-the-box on BeOS (at least R5,
hopefully R4.x and below, too). I tried this by extracting the archive,
modifying the three files mentioned above by replacing the normal /* for
intmax_t */ section of the code with the code above, and then running
'./configure', 'make' and 'make check'. All tests passed. I hope 4.0.2 includes
this fix.
