+Gnulib module: stddef

+Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
+@itemize
+@item
+Some old platforms fail to provide @code{wchar_t}.
+
+@item
+Some platforms provide a @code{NULL} macro that cannot be used in arbitrary
+expressions:
+NetBSD 5.0
+@end itemize
+
+Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
+@itemize
+@item
+Some platforms provide an @code{offsetof} macro that cannot be used in
+arbitrary expressions:
+Solaris 11 2010-11
+This problem can be worked around by parenthesizing the
+@code{offsetof} expression in the unlikely case you use it with
+@code{sizeof} or @samp{[]}.
