GCC requires exact symmetry of types between ssize_t and size_t. 

GCC does not know or care about ssize_t; it's not an ISO C type.  POSIX,
which defines ssize_t, does not require it to be the signed type
corresponding to size_t.

Fact is, I've encountered them more than once and recall me having reported such issues several times at several places.

I don't have one at hand right now, but I guess I can google for them.
