Gnulib includes a module for ssize_t, but it doesn't ensure that
SSIZE_MAX is available. It seems that an ssize_t.h header file
with the following contents would be sufficient:
#include <limits.h>
#ifndef SSIZE_MAX
# define SSIZE_MAX ((ssize_t) (SIZE_MAX / 2))
#endif
A few of the source files in lib/ already include something like
this.
