OSF1 sirppi V4.0 1229 alpha

And OSF1 _is_ mentioned in the list of supported platforms in README.

The usual way (pre-C99) to do this kind of thing is to check the sizes
of the standard integer types during configuration and then generate
appropriate typedefs for them. One can use autoconf's builtin
AC_CHECK_SIZEOF macro and then do a bunch of #if tests in a header, or
generate a platform-specific header file with the right typedefs
directly (see how it's done in e.g. GLib).
