That doesn't mean you're using it correctly.

You can call it whatever you want; that doesn't make it so.

gcc is supposed to be an ANSI compiler, remember?

As Brendan Kehoe of Cygnus explained it to me:

In short:

- Build gcc 2.4.5.
- Once you have 2.4.5 installed, build libg++ 2.4 again; this time via
  "make CC=gcc"

Then you will get the correct prototype for "size_t" in the version of
<sys/stdtypes.h> that gcc actually uses.  

Capiche?
