AIX's system headers probably typedef or #define int8, uint16 etc.
to be the same thing as the standard int8_t, u_int16_t etc. The g-i tests
are using these names as parameters.

g-i could work around this by renaming the argument to i8 or int8_ or
something.

This is probably just fallout from the parse errors above.
