We have the same issue here.

I however use a different fix:
diff -ur flac-1.2.1/include/share/alloc.h flac/include/share/alloc.h
--- flac-1.2.1/include/share/alloc.h>---2007-09-12 06:32:21.000000000

-
 #include <limits.h> /* for SIZE_MAX */
-#if !defined _MSC_VER && !defined __MINGW32__ && !defined __EMX__
+#if !defined _MSC_VER && !defined __EMX__
 #include <stdint.h> /* for SIZE_MAX in case limits.h didn't get it */
 #endif
 #include <stdlib.h> /* for size_t, malloc(), etc */
