If there is, it's outdated.  We pick up stdint.h/inttypes.h from gnulib, so
those types are now available on all hosts.  If not, it's a gnulib problem.
I suggest to use those types, because libiberty itself has recently
began assuming uintptr_t through either stdint.h or inttypes.h is available.

I see no reason to consider 128 types in a libiberty header/interface at
this point.  It'll be a long while (decades?) before that could be
considered portable.
