It builds fine on modern Solaris releases, which have <stdint.h>

Solaris 2.6 is a very very old release at this point (1998), and
trying to mix ancient kernel & libc with modern libraries is always
going to be painful, and not very productive.   (If you're running
Solaris 2.6, it's because you have some reason for running old 
software in an unchanged environment - so why change it by introducing
new software like xcb?)   We've dropped support for releases that old
in other parts of the X Window System, so I'm going to admit this is
a bug, but one not worth fixing.
