So if I understand correctly: GCC may still nominally support AIX 4.3, but no
one here really wants to spend time dealing with it.

If that's the case, could you set these PRs to WAITING/IN_PROGRESS, and assign
them to me? I'll gladly try my hand at some patches, as long as someone here is
willing to review them and get them in if they're good.

I was under the impression that fast-integer types could be N bits or more in
size, so e.g. "typedef int32_t int_fast16_t" would be valid (and may make sense
for the architecture). So you're saying that's not it, and sys/inttypes.h needs
fixincluding?
