gnulib tries to arrange things such that the libc's <stdio.h> file is read
and processed before gnulib's <stdio.h> file. Apparently here it did not
work as expected.

If you can reproduce this error with corrected --build and --host values,
please can you post the output of the preprocessing, i.e.

$ arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. \
    -I../../intl   -g -MT areadlink-with-size.o -E areadlink-with-size.c
