stdint.h & non-GNU portability

stdint.h & non-GNU portability

[Bart Grantham]

I'm now at the point where I need to build grub to start integrating the 
OF work I've been doing, but I can't get the most recent CVS to make.  I 
am using OpenBSD 3.5 on an Ultra5, and it needs stdint.h, which is not 
installed on my system.  My understanding is that stdint.h is part of 
libc6 and I wanted to confirm this.

I'm not sure if it's a deficiency of OpenBSD in general, of OpenBSD 3.5, 
or of the Sparc port but I wanted to point it out in case maintaining 
non-GNU build portability is something that is important to the project.

And if someone could provide me with some pointers off-list on how I can 
get my toolchain up to speed (short of installing a different OS ;)), 
it'd be much appreciated.

Actually, stdint.h is part of ISO C99.

What toolchain are you using? Maybe you should look in OpenBSD places 
for a more recent one?
