We use uintptr_t in lots of places in the regular code. I guess this bit in compat/posix.h is what makes it work:

  #ifdef NO_INTPTR_T
  /*
   * On I16LP32, ILP32 and LP64 "long" is the safe bet, however
   * on LLP86, IL33LLP64 and P64 it needs to be "long long",
   * while on IP16 and IP16L32 it is "int" (resp. "short")
   * Size needs to match (or exceed) 'sizeof(void *)'.
   * We can't take "long long" here as not everybody has it.
   */
  typedef long intptr_t;
  typedef unsigned long uintptr_t;
  #endif

But clar has its own compatibility layer. So it would need to do something similar. I see the clar line in question also uses PRIxPTR, which I can imagine might not be available everywhere either. We don't use that ourselves at all.

I kind of wonder if just:

diff --git a/t/unit-tests/clar/clar.c b/t/unit-tests/clar/clar.c
index 80c5359425..f408af850f 100644
--- a/t/unit-tests/clar/clar.c
+++ b/t/unit-tests/clar/clar.c
@@ -875,8 +875,8 @@ void clar__assert_equal(
 		void *p1 = va_arg(args, void *), *p2 = va_arg(args, void *);
 		is_equal = (p1 == p2);
 		if (!is_equal)
-			p_snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "0x%"PRIxPTR" != 0x%"PRIxPTR,
-				   (uintptr_t)p1, (uintptr_t)p2);
+			p_snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "0x%"PRIuMAX" != 0x%"PRIuMAX,
+				   (uintmax_t)p1, (uintmax_t)p2);
 	}
 	else {
 		int i1 = va_arg(args, int), i2 = va_arg(args, int);

would be sufficient.
