Hi Masahiro,

That should have worked, because POSIX defines it to be there. It
sounds like you need --sysroot to point it to the proper ones.

Yeah, that is the expected behavior. C99 does not have the implicit
int rule anymore (unlike older C) so ssize_t (an unknown type given
that program) is not being interpreted as int anymore (which is what
triggers the warning later about the mismatch between size_t and int
in the format string).

That is expected too, because size_t is defined via stdio.h (size_t is
a C standard type, ssize_t is not -- it is a POSIX one).

Hope that helps,

Cheers,
Miguel
