Sorry, I don't understand how can this ever work reliably.  Some of
the definitions provided by the headers that GCC wants to install are
closely related to the library.  I don't see how can GCC provide
definitions that will never conflict with library internals.  Please
tell what am I missing.

How about a system with its own stddef.h?  Standard types such as
size_t, wchar_t, the definition of NULL -- these are surely closely
related to the internals of a library, right?  And GCC has no means of
knowing how to define these correctly for the library, right?
