| OK, I understand the situation better now:
| 
| The ANSI standard for size_t is long unsigned int, and the seq386.h header
| file does not redefine SIZE_TYPE to int to agree with the system headers.

Umm, the ANSI standard does NOT specify size_t is long unsigned.  All
it specifies is that it is an unsigned type, large enough to hold any
sizeof expression.

| However, libg++/utils/gen-params checks the system headers before the gcc
| headers to find out what size_t is, so it finds the typedef of size_t to
| int in sys/types.h.
| 
| There are two solutions I see:
| 1) Redefine SIZE_TYPE in config/seq386.h to agree with the system headers.
| 2) Alter gen-params to use the definition of size_t in the gcc headers.
| 
| Which is preferable?

#1 is generally preferable.

You are in a twisty little passage of standards, all conflicting.
