Ok, strike the asterisked part.  Should I interpret your answer
as an approval of direction generally, for a GCC-provided
stdint.h along the directions in PR 448?  Now in stage3
(provided it's ok with RM) or next stage1?  (Not providing
stdint.h is arguably a bug.)

Yes, I read PR 448, but I don't interpret anything there as
geoffk being in the progress of implementing it; I just see
(good) suggestions.  Not sure it being best with a single
"#pragma GNUC stdint" though (i.e. I agree with your #7).

Will I find TC1 at the same official channels I acquired a copy
of C99?
