Which cygwin bug is this?  Let's get it fixed in cygwin, rather than
having to work around it.  Looking at /usr/include/stdint.h on cygwin, I
found one bug in cygwin 1.5.16 (and am proposing a patch there to get it
fixed in 1.5.17):

INTMAX_C(x) is defined as appending just L, but intmax_t is typedef'd to
long long and INTMAX_MIN and friends are definitely 64-bit, so it should
be appending LL.

But there are definitions for int64_t, uint64_t, int_least64_t,
uint_least64_t, int_fast64_t, and uint_fast64_t; all six with the
appropriate MIN and MAX macros.  And if the bug was in an earlier version
of cygwin, I think gnulib can safely ignore that; there are a number of
bugs in older cygwin versions that are simply not worth working around.
