In our HPs stddef.h does define size_t (via #include sys/_size_t.h)
in HP-UX 11.00 as well as HP-UX 11.11.  What's more, binutils 2.11
builds without any tricks straight out of the box using HP's on ANSI C
compiler (except for ld, which configure declares unsupported).  
I would look for problems in gcc installation.
