I had some considerations for testing for int first. If we hit some really
broken compiler that does not care about protoype mismatch we better have
the "most common" case first. It defaulted to int before - so let's stick
to int as much as possible. May be, I'm just plain paranoid. And the
whole needs check for general prototype support of course.

BTW Linux/gcc is pretty vague definition :-) On Mandrake cooker it finds
size_t.
