No, this protection did not appear (until I just rudely put them in
manually :) .  Since the likelihood that I'll be getting either a
hardware or software upgrade to my SGI is an excellent approximation
to zero, and if the machine dies its supposed to be excessed, this
manual fix shouldn't be a problem.

One interesting thing: the unsigned typedefs appear

    in <inttypes.h>  as uint8_t,  uint16_t,  and uint64_t,
but in <sys/types.h> as u_int8_t, u_int16_t, and u_int32_t.

So, after this mutilation a small test file with

#include <inttypes.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

(or in opposite order) now compiles.  Back to Vim, the resulting
<config.h> file now appears to be generated properly.  IMHO, looks
like perhaps there should be a check to see if <sys/types.h> and
<inttypes.h> can be simultaneously included.

Thank you,
