No clue, other than laziness I suspect.

I suspect we can just fix memmove.c to do something like this:

#include <ansidecl.h>
#ifdef __STDC__
#include <stddef.h>
#else
#define size_t unsigned long
#endif

Then size size_t as the 3rd argument.

[ That's what libiberty/memmove.c does. ]

Can you try that and see if it fixes your build?
