| Well, it seems this compiler does not grok long long numbers in preprocessor
| expressions. But this is an ISO C 99 requirement, and test-stdint checks
for it.

I thought we already decided that requiring long long support in the
preprocessor is a losing battle, at least for a couple more years.  Maybe
the solution here is to weaken the gnulib test for now (ie. comment out
the preprocessor checks for now, and instead test only the weaker
condition that INTMAX_MAX and friends can be used as identifiers in an
expression that evaluates to a long long).
