Re: coreutils-4.5.12 doesn't build on HP-UX 11.00 with gcc 3.0.4

Thank you for the report.
However, I suspect that there's a problem with gcc's
header files on your system.  stddef.h should define size_t.

Here's a little test you can run.
It creates a 2-line file and tries to compile it,
first with gcc, then with cc.  Both should work.

cat <<EOF > k.c
#include <stddef.h>
size_t n;
EOF
gcc -c k.c
cc -c k.c
