This was all with the latest version in Debian which is 1.2.4.

For Debian it's not a problem at all since we're all using glibc
2.3.2.  However, older systems will probably not have it.  C99 is
more then 5 years old now, so it's not that new.

However, most things in <stdint.h> are also available in things
like <sys/types.h> on most systems but not all of them are.  Note
that that isn't part of the C standard but is part of POSIX/SUS.

There is also <inttypes.h> which is part of C99 too, and includes
<stdint.h>.  Afaik it didn't exist in C89/C90 either and was
added in C99.
