I think uint32_t is visible via stdint.h (via regex_internal.h) so 
that's not the issue.

The underlying problem will take a bit more time to fix. Basically, we 
should remove some of the Gnulib-specific stuff, which was written back 
when Gnulib didn't have substitutes for wctype.h etc. In the meantime 
it's better to break the link between glibc and gnulib for this file so 
I installed the attached as a workaround.
