You make a good point. I didn't want to get integer type cleanups
mixed up with the Windows import, so I wanted to do them first.

I think there was a general feeling, expressed by Dalibor, the leader
of the Porters' Group, that the Windows changes should be integrated
into the http://hg.openjdk.java.net/aarch64-port/jdk-windows/ tree.

This change is marginal, IMO. Clearly it's a GCC-ism, so I won't
refuse it being cleaned up in mainline if you want.

But I think we should now move to integrating all of your Windows-
specific changes in the jdk-windows tree and then we'll put together a
Big Windows Patch and push that to mainline. I don't think it'll take
long. Let's just get it done!
