I believe Mark's patch may be correct. it _does_ however require
us to actually declare the size_t in the global namespace.
I was seeing.

 9 namespace _C_legacy {
10   extern "C" {
18 typedef unsigned int size_t;
22   }
23 }
24 namespace std {
26   using _C_legacy::size_t;
27 }
58 extern "C++" {
69 void *operator new (size_t) throw (std::bad_alloc);
79 }

which clearly does _not_ delcare the size_t in ::. so adding to the 
bottom of -v3/include/c_std/bits/std_cstddef.h

  using std::size_t;
  using std::ptrdiff_t;

allows me to pass the failure point you mention, but I'm still 
failing on that whole langinfo.h thing...
