The quoted part above reads as "if an implementation provides ... it *shall*
define"  to me.

So for example if by any chance you don't have int8_t defined, that would 
mean that the platform does not support 8-bit integer type at all and no other
method will help you to solve this problem. It sounds quite reasonable.
