OK, I bit the bullet and made up a whole new macro for type testing.
Those who can't get at a new snapshot can try the attached patch.

I have included <stdio.h> because that appears to effect the definition of
the types in question on AIX; apparently it pulls in <inttypes.h> somehow.

Please check this on AIX and BeOS.
