Perhaps installing and using a version of stdint.h  would be best on old 
systems (suggested in the first paragraph of 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stdint.h)

However, there are probably only two critical places for stdint.h to be 
included (runtime.h and GSConfig.h.in) so wrapping them in a conditional to 
include either stdint.h or the old solaris equivalents might be simpler.

I found some stuff saying that, even though old versions of solaris don't have 
stdint.h they do have inttypes.h (which includes the same information).  You 
might try that, or perhaps search the web for other ideas.
