As you mention Keir stddef.h looks like it should be safe to use in 
kernel environment. If that helps to compile standard ANSI code using 
John's approach I see no reason not to apply the patch. Ultimately we 
would like to make the job of porting apps to Mini-OS as easy as possible.

Could you apply the patch Keir?

Additionally, as I've already told John in a private email, the page 
fault trap handler seems to be broken (the faulting linear address is 
bogus). We are working with Aravindh to fix that. Afterwards it will be 
much easier to pinpoint to cause of the pagefault.

Cheers
Gregor
