Hi Bruno,
I believe your patch has a typo. It uses _c99 instead of __c99 as the
symbol that the SGI c99 compiler defines.

Yes, you are correct. We need to have the generated <stdint.h> create
the {,u}int_leastN_t types to be correct.

Those extra types are only available if a c99 compiler is in use and the
__c99 symbol is therefore defined. If the __c99 symbol is not defined, then
the only thing that the <stdint.h> file does is a '#error'.

If the user is using the c99 compiler, then there is probably no need to
use the GNULIB version at all.

True enough. I like you patch other than the typo in the __c99 name.
I also wonder if you will consider doing something about the missing
WCHAR_MIN macro in your <stdint.h> replacement such as this:
#if !defined(WCHAR_MIN) && defined(HAVE_WCHAR_H)
# include <wchar.h>
#endif
for when <stddef.h> is not defining it.
