I have gcc-6.3.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 from ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test. It can
build
zziplib-0.13.66 from source without problems.

Try building zziplib outside TL2017. If that fails you should have a look
at the stddef.h changes in

https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/gcc/files/gcc-6.3.0-musl.diff

I assume you are building TL2017 for use on Void Linux.  In that case you
might want to
build TL using system libraries where possible (since Void is a rolling
distro, some may be
too new for TL2017).
