It fails to build right away on Solaris 8 with Sun Studio 11 :

Not pretty. I'll try another compiler but I think the absent "intmax_t" is
supposed to be in /usr/include/sys/int_types.h :

Older ( and still in datacenters ) Solaris 8 says :

/*
 * intmax_t and uintmax_t are to be the longest (in number of bits) signed
 * and unsigned integer types supported by the implementation.
 */
#if defined(_LP64) || (__STDC__ - 0 == 0 && !defined(_NO_LONGLONG))
typedef int64_t                 intmax_t;
typedef uint64_t                uintmax_t;
#else
typedef int32_t                 intmax_t;
typedef uint32_t                uintmax_t;
#endif

Which is not quite the same thing as Solaris Nevada snv_121 which says this :

/*
 * intmax_t and uintmax_t are to be the longest (in number of bits) signed
 * and unsigned integer types supported by the implementation.
 */
#if defined(_INT64_TYPE)
typedef int64_t                 intmax_t;
typedef uint64_t                uintmax_t;
#else
typedef int32_t                 intmax_t;
typedef uint32_t                uintmax_t;
#endif

so I'll just look in mpfr.h where I see :

/* Check if <stdint.h> / <inttypes.h> is included or if the user
   explicitly wants intmax_t. Note: with C++ implementations, the
   test of the C99 macros will work only if the user has defined
   __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS or __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS before <stdint.h>
   has been included (see ISO C99 standard); that's why _STDINT_H
   (defined by the glibc) and _STDINT_H_ (defined under Mac OS X)
   are tested too, but under other OS, MPFR_USE_INTMAX_T may need
   to be defined. */
#if ((defined (INTMAX_C) || defined (INTMAX_MAX)) && \
     (defined (UINTMAX_C) || defined (UINTMAX_MAX))) || \
  defined (MPFR_USE_INTMAX_T) || defined (_STDINT_H) || defined (_STDINT_H_)
# define _MPFR_H_HAVE_INTMAX_T 1
#endif

If I try -DMPFR_USE_INTMAX_T I get the same result as above.

If I manually define intmax_t in mpfr.h I get a error like so :

"../../mpfr-2.4.2-rc1/mpfr.h", line 66: warning: no explicit type given
"../../mpfr-2.4.2-rc1/mpfr.h", line 66: syntax error before or at: intmax_t
"../../mpfr-2.4.2-rc1/mpfr.h", line 66: warning: old-style declaration or
incorrect type for: intmax_t

So at this point I may as well switch over to GCC or Studio 12. I'll let
you know what I see.
