Thanks very much for submitting the problem report.  I think however
that your solution may be not be the right way to go.  libiberty.h
already includes <stddef.h>, so this problem should be present in your
build, unless ANSI_PROTOTYPES is not defined.  That symbol should be
defined in ansidecl.h, and this definition is conditional upon either
__STDC__ or _AIX being defined.  (Or a few other conditions).

Perhaps this is the problem.  Perhaps for some reason the host
compiler that you are using is not defining either __STDC__ or _AIX ?
If this is true, can you find out what symbols it does define ?  Maybe
one of these symbols should be added to the conditional line at the
start of ansidecl.h.

Cheers
