It would be a lot easier to read with a typedef for the iterator type:

      template<typename _UniformRandomNumberGenerator>
	void
	__generate(result_type* __f, result_type* __t,
		   _UniformRandomNumberGenerator& __urng,
		   const param_type& __p)
	{ this->__generate(__iterator(__f), __iterator(__t), __urng, __p); }

    private:
      typedef result_type* pointer;
      typedef
	__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<result_type*, uniform_int_distribution>
	__iterator;

There's no need to qualify std::uniform_int_distribution and include
the template argument list, within the class scope the class' own name
is injected and can be used safely.
