Compilation fails when inttypes.h without uint_least32_t definition present but stdint.h with definition present

Compilation of GMP fails when the system has an inttypes.h header 
without uint_least32_t definition, even when there is a stdint.h with 
the definition present.

Starting at line 154 in gmp-impl.h:

#if HAVE_INTTYPES_H      /* for uint_least32_t */
# include <inttypes.h>
#else
# if HAVE_STDINT_H
#  include <stdint.h>
# endif
#endif

Notice that if the system has inttypes.h, then stdint.h will not be 
included. This is an issue on systems where the system has inttypes.h 
without a uint_least32_t definition, but does have a fixed stdint.h 
generated by GCC which does have a definition for it. Since stdint.h is 
only included when inttypes.h isn't present, the fixed stdint.h isn't 
pulled in. A system known to have this issue rear its head is Tru64.

Tested on Tru64 5.1B with GMP 6.1.0, compiling with GCC 4.7.4.

libtool: compile:  alphaev56-dec-osf5.1b-gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H 
-I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I.. -DOPERATION_mp_bases -mieee -O2 
-pedantic -Wa,-arch,ev56 -mcpu=ev56 -c mp_bases.c  -DPIC -o .libs/mp_bases.o
In file included from mp_bases.c:4:0:
../gmp-impl.h:232:1: error: unknown type name 'uint_least32_t'
make[2]: *** [mp_bases.lo] Error 1

If gmp-impl.h is edited to just pull in stdint.h, compilation continues.
