Hi Thomas,

This patch broke avr and pru-elf cross builds:
  gcc/libgcc/unwind-dw2-fde.c:680:28: error: unknown type name ‘uintptr_t’
  680 |                            uintptr_t *range)

Should uintptr_t be replaced with __UINTPTR_TYPE__? Such change fixes the
above broken builds for me. But I'm not sure how valid it is for that
part of libgcc.

Other embedded targets like arm-none-eabi are not broken because they
overwrite LIB2ADDEH, and consequently unwind-dw2-fde.c is not built for
them.

Regards,
Dimitar
