Thanks
I'll go with test patch, but if this runs into trouble or I hit same
problem again, I make request official as the least path of resistance.
I think test patch will be fine - it's used in other tests.
best regards
Andy

I just reviewed <sys/types.h> on my FreeBSD machine, and most of the
stuff there is indeed quite Unix specific. The only other type that
might be of (some) interest for AVRs would be time_t (which is a
signed 32-bit integer, mostly for historical reasons).
I have no objections to adding such a file.
Neither do I. The tricky thing is to properly define size_t in a way
that is compliant with the GCC-supplied headers. I don't really
pretend to follow the entire logic in <stddef.h>. This header file
will define all these macros that appear to be related to size_t:
#define _BSD_SIZE_T_
#define _BSD_SIZE_T_DEFINED_
#define _GCC_SIZE_T
#define _SIZE_T
#define _SIZE_T_
#define _SIZE_T_DECLARED
#define _SIZE_T_DEFINED
#define _SIZE_T_DEFINED_
#define _SYS_SIZE_T_H
#define __SIZE_T
#define __SIZE_TYPE__ unsigned int
#define __SIZE_T__
#define ___int_size_t_h
#define __size_t
#define __size_t__
The actual type definition used is
typedef __SIZE_TYPE__ size_t;

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
