I cannot reproduce this on 11.8 or 12.1, the following program compiles
cleanly with pgCC:

 #include <stdint.h>

 int main()
 {
   uintptr_t up = 0;
   intptr_t ip = 0;
 }

C++03 does not define intptr_t or uintptr_t at all.
C++11 has them optional in <cstdint>.
C99 has them optional.

Relying on their presence seems a bit shaky.
