I'm trying to get the x86_64 branch to compile on HP-UX, and noticed
the same problem.  My gut reaction, adding #include "platform.h" to
gen-types.c, didn't help since it seems that platform.h depends on
c-types.h (generated by gen-types).   So including platform.h from
gen-types.c causes a cyclic dependency.

This is unfortunate, as it forces duplication of platform specific
#ifs unless something is refactored.  As of yet I have no proposal on
what to refactor and how, though.
