Yeah me neither. Maybe the header used NULL before?

<tgmath.h> is only for hosted environments. That requires a C library for GCC (we do not implement this stuff ourselves). The compiler and the C library have to work together to get this done, and the relation between GCC and Glibc has been a bit too tight for this, it is true.
But a kernel build is not in a hosted environment.

On what targets is <stdint.h> still problematic? And <limits.h>?
