gnulib provides two ways: m4/intmax_t.m4 (used by the inttostr,
strtoimax, vasnprintf, and xstrtol modules), and m4/intmax.m4 (used by
the gettext module).  The former defines a replacement intmax_t, and
the latter doesn't.

m4/intmax_t.m4 is the analog of m4/uintmax_t.m4, so if you're used to
the latter the former is probably what you're looking for.

Can you arrange for gnulib-tool to pick up m4/intmax_t.m4?
