Thanks for the fix.
I see the same warning with gcc -m32, and it is gone with this patch.

mini_liburing.h doesn't include <stdint.h>, so uintptr_t only resolves
because both users include it first: io_uring_zerocopy_tx.c directly,
and prog_tests/sockopt.c through bpf/bpf.h and bpf/libbpf.h from
test_progs.h.

Since this adds the first uintptr_t in the file, should it
also add #include <stdint.h> next to the other includes?
