    I have an application that needs to use uint64_t. On
    Linux I can include <stdint.h> and then it works fine.

    But I would like this code to be as portable as
    possible. I found that on IRIX and Solaris there is
    no <stdint.h>. If I remove the include line, the code
    compiles and works as intended.

    But without <stdint.h> the code no longer compiles on
    Linux. So how do I write the code such that it works
    in both cases?

    I don't want to generate header files and Make files,
    I want to keep it simple and just write the .c file in
    a portable way.

    Another problem I ran into is the fact that I use
    /dev/urandom to generate random bytes. That doesn't
    exist on IRIX, is there a portable way to generate
    random bytes?
