Yes, it is specific to ocamlrpcgen. It is used to tell the compiler to
map the specified RPC int into an OCaml Int32. By default, I map all
int to native 31-bits OCaml integers.

I suppose you implementation maps int to int32 so you can safely
ignore it with something like:
#define _int32 /* nothing */
