Hey all,

just in case this is a bug in base 3.16.1: I was trying to build an IOC
directly on my BeagleBone Black. I'm using the latest Debian Stretch
image (gcc6.3.0).

Building EPICS base and CALC-Module worked without any problems. But
building the IOC (with some custom device support) I got the following
error:

I was able to fix this error by adding "#include <stddef.h> in
base/include/dbLock.h
