[rfa] HAVE_UINTPTR_T

- Subject: [rfa] HAVE_UINTPTR_T
Draft #2. I changed the variable to HAVE_UINTPTR_T, and I changed
AC_TRY_RUN to AC_TRY_COMPILE. I re-tested with and without
uintptr_t in /usr/include/stdint.h to hit both paths.
I don't show diffs for regenerated 'configure'. I regenerated
'configure' with stock autoconf 2.13 from ftp.gnu.org.
Again, this is so that the gdb build can do something better when
it needs uintptr_t and doesn't have it (pr gdb/660). My notion of
'something better' is going to be to spit out a better error message,
not to actually work. Somebody has to have a really old libc
(more than 3 years old) to get this message, but with millions of
users, some people do.
OK to commit?
