Some C++ headers were including <cstdef> header internally just so that they could use std::size_t and std::ptrdiff_t. Those types are in 4.6+ defined in an internal libstdc++ header using compiler builtin preprocessor macros (that existed for a while), so if you need anything else from <cstddef>/<stddef.h>, you need to include it yourself, as basically none of the standard C++ headers include <cstddef> any more.
