The problem is likely that you use a baremetal toolchain, rather
than an arm-linux-gnueabi or arm-linux-gnueabihi toolchain.

There is some logic that tries to decide if uint32_t should
be 'unsigned int' or 'unsigned long' based on included headers,
and it seems that your compiler comes to a different conclusion
here.

If this is a freestanding compiler, can you try adding
-fno-freestanding to the cflags?
