Are you using IRIX 3.2 ?
I think the problem is you have declared size_t twice.
The header files in IRIX 3.3 have added the #if conditional
compile statement so that you can't typedef the size_t twice.
(Of course the error messages don't mean anything.)
Look in to the stddef.h itself, it #define _SIZE_T_ , so is the
header file in IRIX 3.3. As I recall, this #define _SIZE_T_
statement wasn't appeared in 3.2.
So, the only way is, not to include this statement at all, or edit
the /usr/include/sys/types.h (or whereever it appears) to make to
#define _SIZE_T_ as it does in stddef.h
