>Description:
The stddef.h header file included with lang/gcc refers to sys/_types.h
which only exists in the base system. When compiling with -nostdinc
the compilation aborts with the error below. 

I can't override '-nostdinc' because it creates type definition conflicts
when trying to compile this particular port. (It's the bazaar version of grub2)
	
>How-To-Repeat:
test.c:

#include <stddef.h>
int main() 
{
        return 0;
}

gcc46 -nostdinc -I/usr/local/lib/gcc46/gcc/x86_64-portbld-freebsd9.0/4.6.3/include test.c

In file included from test.c:1:0:
/usr/local/lib/gcc46/gcc/x86_64-portbld-freebsd9.0/4.6.3/include/stddef.h:59:24: fatal error: sys/_types.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

>Fix:

As a workaround I've been able to successfully build the port by adding symlinks to
/usr/include/sys and /usr/include/machine. The specific files that stddef.h wants are:

sys/_types.h
sys/cdefs.h
machine/_types.h
