I hope so.  I'm still waiting to see any technical explanation; until now 
I didn't see any.

Frankly, I don't see why do you think such changes will be accepted by 
the GCC maintainers: I didn't see any sign of commitment on their part.
But I guess we could always try anyway...

sys/djtypes.h is there for a reason; I think ANSI doesn't allow stddef.h 
to be included by other headers.

But please post here the diffs that you want to commit, after the
changes you mention above, and let's look at them.

Thanks for pursuing this troublesome issue!
