I'd like to fold this into the inttypes.h autoconf test. Anyone know
what warning comes out of the conflict between inttypes.h and
sys/types.h conflict on compilation on Irix 5? That might allow for
clean detection.
It has been a while, and my memory is hazy.
While Irix 5.3 contains an inttypes.h file, this predated the ISO C99
standardized version of the file by many years, and looked like more of
an after thought than a careful planned standard header file. That is,
they added it because they could, not because they wanted everyone to
use it.
Not using the inttypes.h file in this case is probably the right answer,
because it isn't the file we are looking for.
Unfortunately, I don't recall the exact conflict, and do not have access
to Irix5 systems to check.
