I have totally given up on this mess.

At best you get incredibly messy source code, at worst you waste a
lot of time figuring out why who to define stuff to make some platform
you have only heard rumours about behave.

I have therefore resorted to printf'ing any typedefed integer type using
"%jd" and an explicit cast to (intmax_t):

	printf("%-30s -> %jd -> %s\n", s, (intmax_t)t, buf);

If some system introduces int512_t that may not be optimal, but
since printf is a pretty slow operation anyway, I doubt it will
hurt even half as much as the alternative.
