For whatever reason, size_t is not defined.

My version of fcntl.h has the same definitions.  The official ORCA/C
1.3, 2.0 and 2.0.3 headers from ByteWorks use 'int' for the return
type and third parameter of these functions.

It basically means that the GNO-supplied fcntl.h has a bug.  It should
define size_t itself, or include another file which defines it.

You can get around this by including any of <stdio.h>, <stdlib.h> or
<stddef.h> before <fcntl.h>.  There may be other files that define
size_t, but these are the "official" ones that are supposed to define
it.

Alternatively, modify fcntl.h to include the definition, as follows:

#ifndef __size_t__
#define __size_t__ 1
typedef unsigned long size_t;
#endif

There are two underlines on either side of size_t in the #ifndef and
#define lines.

  Add "#include <types.h>" before #include <fcntl.h>
