Reading the trace I posted above, it is not just <stddef.h>, but also at
least <stdarg.h>, and probably others, too.

SunOS isn't GNU/Linux, so it is less relevant to how cygwin behaves
(since cygwin is striving to be a Linux emulation, not a POSIX
emulation).  Not to mention that using gcc on SunOS _also_ prefers to
translate <stddef.h> to a gcc-specific directory, rather than
/usr/include/stddef.h, since gcc relies on aspects that are specific to
the gcc compiler, while /usr/include/stddef.h is tied to the system's
own 'cc' that doesn't understand gcc extensions.
