_LP64, int32_t and intptr_t

[Kelly O'Hair]

FYI...

just for informational purposes...

test_gamma is a bit of an unusual beast, it wants to use the freshly
built libjvm.so with a jdk to see if it works, but in building a jdk
for the very first time, there may not be an acceptable jdk to test
drive this VM just yet because the VM is one of the first things built.

I've always thought that this test_gamma logic should be restricted
to builds of hotspot where a suitable previously built jdk is available.
Sometimes that's the boot jdk (ALT_BOOTDIR or JAVA_HOME) or maybe the
optional import jdk (JDK_IMPORT_PATH) used when doing partial jdk builds.
But with many of these initial porting efforts, neither may make sense
or will work. Not sure how to detect this situation automatically.
