I don't think so...  We can't blacklist a header just because it is
named stdint.h.  That's a worse behaviour which is not portable.

There are many headers "not portable" in the environment.
For example, linux/random.h, bits/stdc++.h and emmintrin.h.
Should we blacklist them all with -std=c90 -pedantic-errors?

See the discussion in]
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26502307/gcc-options-for-strict-c90-code>.
I think we should check the usage of headers ourselves.
