Again, I'm not 100% sure of what the issue is - just trying to see if I can suggest anything useful - but can you do 'locate stddef.h' or something? It looks like it's missing a file. There is also a command - using equery I think - to find out what package a specific file belongs to, which would help you fix any missing dependencies or such.
