Look, the devs for allegro can do as they damn well please. Especially with Allegro 5. Its a new lib, and has no need to support broken C compilers. It works most of the time. If it breaks in some minority of strange cases, thats none of Allegro 5's business.

A quick glance at the Allegro platform headers shows that at least 4 of the supported compilers do not have support for C99 int types.

The actual list of fully SUPPORTED compilers is GCC, GCC, and um, GCC. The rest have quirks that we can't properly support. Allegro can try and work around them, but thats about it.
