You are looking in the wrong place. Check your compiler's stddef.h - things
like
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/include/stddef.h:#define _SIZE_T
or
/usr/lib/llvm-3.5/lib/clang/3.5.0/include/stddef.h:#define _SIZE_T
along with the things like
typedef __SIZE_TYPE__ size_t;
this sucker is protecting.
