uint_least32_t is in stdint.h not in inttypes.h

  So, including <inttypes.h> if present should be sufficient, and
  this is what the above code does.

  That said, for C99 implementations, the #if tests would be useless,
  so that the above code is also designed for non-C99 implementations,
  which may have <inttypes.h> and <stdint.h> with a behavior different
  from C99, i.e. <inttypes.h> will not necessarily include <stdint.h>
  (but this also means that <stdint.h> will not necessarily have
  uint_least32_t).

The mainline gmp repository and the next major GMP release (7.0) will
require a C99 compiler.  I believe we have not fully determined which
C++ standard we will require (or, Marc, did we come to a conclusion?).
We will use C99 constructs and will gradually clean up code which
handles older environments.

In the meantime, GMP 6 will continue to support C89.  We actually
removed some accidental C99ism with the 6.2.1 release.
