Your patch was backwards, but since it solved your build, it is worth
committing.  Here's what I'm checking in so that a platforms int64_t is
not overridden if gnulib does not use 64-bit types.  It still does not
solve the issue of whether gnulib should insist that long long and
unsigned long long must both exist with the same width, or claim that
neither is usable; but as yours is the only odd platform encountered so
far, and since CFLAGS=-O appears to solve it for you, I'm not sure how
others feel about trying to improve gnulib in this area.  It may end up
that I release m4 1.4.9 and you have to compile with optimizations on for
it to work on NSK.

        and Matthew Woehlke  <mw_triad AT users.sourceforge.net>  (tiny change)

        * lib/stdint_.h (int64_t, uint64_t): Don't undefine if 64-bit
        types are not being provided by gnulib.
        (GL_INT64_T, GL_UINT64_T): New witnesses of whether gnulib 64-bit
        types are supported.
