I patched it, including "cstddef" (the project is in C++). The patch is 
attached, tested on ArchLinux, gcc version 4.6.1 20110819 (prerelease) (GCC).

Thank you very much for the patch, works for me on gcc 4.6.1-9ubuntu3 on Ubuntu 
11.10 too.

This patched worked for me on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS / gcc version 4.6.3 
(Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5)  as well.

Thanks!

Thanks, both including stddef.h and cstddef worked perfectly on Debian 7 GCC 
4.7.2. 

Does anybody know of any incompatibility where including these would cause any 
harm?

As OpenTypeUtilities.cpp anyway seems to be "Modified for use with ttf2eot" I 
would otherwise suggest to include this patch in a ttf2eot 0.0.3 or similar.
