OK, when looking at the preprocessed output I see:

typedef signed char int_least8_t;
typedef __INT_LEAST8_TYPE__ int_least8_t;

So the problem seems to be that __INT_LEAST8_TYPE__ isn't defined.
On HP-UX 11.23 where I use "wrap" I created a hpux-stdint.h file
(like glibc-stdint.h and newlib-stdint.h) to use.  I guess I need
to use this on HP-UX 11.11 too, even though I am using "provide"
instead of "wrap".
