No, that would be incorrect, as when __WORDSIZE isn't 64,
/usr/include/stdint.h defines:

__extension__
typedef long long int           intmax_t;
__extension__
typedef unsigned long long int  uintmax_t;

i.e. intmax_t and uintmax_t are still 64 bits.

INTMAX_MAX and so on should match the intmax_t and uintmax_t
definitions.

BTW, notice that the fact that intmax_t and uintmax_t are 64 bits
is against the principle that unsigned long is the largest integer
type in C90. So, perhaps this shouldn't be hidden by __extension__
above (this would solve the problem in another way).
