That's a bug in s390's system headers.  Gnulib should be taught to work
around it.

Although this bug was reported fixed in glibc 2.20; see

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16712

the Gnulib manual says the bug is still in glibc 2.24; see gnulib/doc/posix-headers/stdint.texi. Is the Gnulib manual correct? If so, why didn't the earlier glibc patch fix the bug?

Anyway, I installed into Gnulib the attached patch, which I hope works around the bug. I can't easily test this, so please give it a try. And if you can think of a way to test whether SIZE_MAX has the correct type on pre-C11 compilers that lack __typeof__, please let me know.
