c_int and friends are not defined by libc, but the data model of the operating system. C compilers provide them with macros like __LP64__, __SIZEOF_INT__.

They're needed for syscalls (i.e. writing libc itself) and kernel modules.

Core is designed for (among other things) writing OSes/freestanding code, which would make defining these in that case somewhat strange.

This change was actually proposed (and rejected) in #29985 (see there for more discussion), so I'm closing this to match.
