Rather than grepping the output (that would be rather hard given my
understanding of the currently available autoconf macros), could you
come up with a short program that would compile on platforms with
<stdint.h> but not under this IRIX compiler in c89 mode?  Something like:

    #include <stdint.h>
    uint8_t x = (uint8_t) -1;

Thanks,
