Where is stddef.h???

[Bill C. Riemers]

It doesn't really matter what command line I use.  Even:
	gcc -c foo.c
will produce the problem.  It seems the problem is specific to SuSE 6.0 and
SuSE 6.1.  I used VMWARE to build egcs under RH5.2 on the same NFS mounted
partition, /usr/local/OS, and the problem just went away.  So it looks like
SuSE is missing something required for correctly building and installing
egcs.
