I used the "hack" provided by Simon and it works :-)
:->
This is how we got around the problem. It is a hack but it has been
   (apparently) working fine for almost two years.

      * Copy the file

           /usr/include/sys/_size_t.h

        to the directory

          
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00/2.95.2/include/sys

        (or equivalent depending on where you install gcc)

      * Change the following line from

           typedef unsigned long size_t;

        to

           typedef unsigned int size_t;

      * then try your compile again

   I hope this helps ...
