DJGPP?  Yes.  Any C90 compiler?  No.  For example, the MC68000
microprocessor represents all sizes as 32-bit integers, but the chip
has only 24 address lines; addresses are anded with 0x00ffffff before
being sent out the wire.  In this case, size_t would probably be
typedef'd as unsigned long, but C99's SIZE_MAX would be 0x00ffffff not
0xffffffff.
