Note that libstdc++ has this wrong for almost every header where the C++ standard deviates from the C standard (there is already a PR or two about that somewhere). stddef.h is an exception, since it is provided by gcc, it can indeed be fixed quite easily :-) I believe someone (Howard maybe?) wanted to file a DR asking to remove this paragraph.
