It's a symptom of egcs not really supporting hpux11 yet.  I had hoped to get
it into gcc-2.95 (aka egcs-1.2), but it got pushed out due to other concerns.

This particular problem is due to HP changing size_t in hpux11.  GCC needs to
know the precise definition of size_t so that its internal prototypes for
functions like memcmp, memcpy, etc are correct.
