autoconf should be defining the first and last of these (although, not
the way you have done). snprintf is C99, so it should exist--there's no
workaround when it doesn't.  There shouldn't be any references to
stdint.h and libintl.h if they doen't exist--sys/types.h is pretty commonly
available, but it's only used in one place in the code so we could work
around not having it. You should be able to tell from config.log why the
others aren't being generated properly.
