The Single Unix Spec v2 doesn't mention these in its definition of
<inttypes.h>, and there's not reference at all to a <stdint.h>.

However, a little digging turned up:

	/* ISO C9x  7.18  Integer types <stdint.h>
	 * Based on ISO/IEC SC22/WG14 9899 Committee draft (SC22 N2794)
	...
	/* 7.18.4.1  Macros for minimum-width integer constants */
	#define INT8_C(VALUE) VALUE
	#define INT16_C(VALUE) VALUE
	#define INT32_C(VALUE) VALUE
	#define INT64_C(VALUE) VALUE##LL

	#define UINT8_C(VALUE) VALUE##U
	#define UINT16_C(VALUE) VALUE##U
	#define UINT32_C(VALUE) VALUE##U
	#define UINT64_C(VALUE) VALUE##ULL

	/* 7.18.4.2  Macros for greatest-width integer constants */
	#define INTMAX_C(VALUE) VALUE##LL
	#define UINTMAX_C(VALUE) VALUE##ULL

There's more info at http://www.cfaq.org/c9x/sc22n2794.txt.

Maybe we should be looking at this.  I'll raise a PR for it.

Simon.
