Initial Comment:

header /msys/rt/winsup/cygwin/include needs
"#define __need_size_t"
otherwise 'sed' won't compile.

Thanks for the documented bug.  The point, please provide
documentation that a header is broken.  I'll fix the fact
that FILE isn't defined as well.

I'ld go with 'this isn't a sed bug'...
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/wchar.h.html

Current CVS of newlib's libc also defines __need_size_t in
wchar.h

For testing try to compile with the commented line and
without commenting the same line:

#ifndef _WCHAR_H
#define _WCHAR_H
#include <sys/cdefs.h>
/* Get wchar_t and wint_t from <stddef.h>.  */
#define __need_wchar_t
#define __need_wint_t
//#define __need_size_t
#include <stddef.h>
__BEGIN_DECLS
int wcscmp (const wchar_t *__s1, const wchar_t *__s2);
size_t wcslen (const wchar_t *__s1);
__END_DECLS
#endif /* _WCHAR_H */
int main(){return;}

Is it documented that including wchar.h will define size_t?
 Otherwise it would be a sed bug.  Give me a pointer to
documentation and I'll change it.
