Description Glen Foster 2000-01-14 18:19:14 UTC 
In diagnosing a VSX-PCTS failure, one header-file-analysis test case was
not able to find <stddef.h>.  Further examination led to the fact that
there is NO <stddef.h> on the file system.  Admittedly, this does no
result in a compilation error, but does result in a standards-conformance
error.

Here's where stddef.h is to be found (ultrasparc):
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/include/stddef.h
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/sparc64-redhat-linux/egcs-2.92.11/include/stddef.h
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-glibc20-linux/egcs-2.90.29/include/stddef.h
