gcc does not find stddef.h

[Frank Barknecht <barknech@ph-cip.uni-koeln.de>]

Hello all,

trying to compile xracer, I get the following error:

make: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.3/include/stddef.h', needed by `main.o'.
Stop.

xracer's main.c starts with some usual stuff:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

#if HAVE_UNISTD_H
#include <unistd.h>
#endif
[...]

So I suspect somehow my gcc setup is broken.

I only have:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/egcs-2.91.66/include/stddef.h
which is in the gcc package Version: 2.91.66-2

Do I need to install some other packages? I do have a fairly complete set
of *-dev packages installed, this is the first time such an error occured.

Thanks for any help,
