Hi Axel,
This is an interesting patch actually. I needed to make this change
in order to configure and compile libiconv properly when using
our headers. AFAIK stddef.h is not part of the gcc distribution. It
is a posix header. It is included as part of gcc anyway because the
beos version of this header is broken, I think. If you look in the
/boot/develop/tools/gnupro/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-beos/.../include
directory you'll find these headers, along with a README that
says that these headers were generated from a script called
fixincludes. I couldn't find the fixincludes script but I did find
a script called fixproto which I may try to run against the OBOS
headers. It uses the "include_next" mechanism to patch headers -
sound familiar? Anyway, because I am sadistic, I may try to
compile 2.95.3 against the OBOS headers as well. That should be
enlightening.
