Presumably absolutely nothing.  Thats not my concern.  Its just that
currently, anyone attempting to build a unix->djgpp compiler, or
attempting to bootstrap a compiler from unix, is going to have the
make process abort with 

/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i586-go32-msdos/pgcc-2.90.23/include/stdio.h:36: warning:
 redefinition of `size_t'
/tmp/gnu/egcs-1.0.1/gcc/ginclude/stddef.h:168: warning: `size_t' previously decl
ared here

And they will have to know that the must re-extract stddef.h from the 
dj cross kit and overwrite the gnu.  I'm just annoyed because I haven't figured
out how to disable gcc from using its own stddef.h in the build process, and thought
that moving size_t into stddef.h might be a decent alternative since (for 
people really concerned with standards compliance) it should be there anyway.
