Build failure with Cython > 0.29

I'm on Python 3.10, gcc 13.2.1 and Linux of course. Cython 0.29 works, more modern version fail:

I have this problem how do I fix this bug

[rahul-birla]

I tried pip install gevent==<version_number> --no-build-isolation, with the version that I needed and that worked. I followed this link gevent/gevent#2076

[frankang]

go back to old cython, like pip install cython==3.0.11
or manually change the long xxx statement to
from libc.stdint cimport int32_t, int64_t <int64_t>xxx
in your pyx code
