it's just targets that might have them but haven't
had the relevant information recorded in GCC that I think should not have the types defined by default in GCC. (How this relates to Fortran is up
to the Fortran maintainers.)

Fortran requires that a negative value be returned if the "int_fastN_t type isn't defined in the companion C compiler" (quoting from memory). Thus, of the three cases:

1. on targets that do have int_fastN_t types defined, we register the information in the compiler (for Fortran, but maybe other uses) but don't override stdint.h 2. on targets that don't have int_fastN_t types, we provide a stdint.h and give the corresponding values in Fortran 3. on targets that have int_fastN_t types but the compiler wasn't updated to know, we either provide our own defaults in Fortran and hope they match; a carefully crafted testcase in the testsuite might help checking that and adding information about these targets when we see the testcase FAILing.
