Sorry, I must be missing something then. I thought you wanted size_max because you wanted SIZE_MAX to be usable in #if, as it is with real stdint.h implementations. If you merely want a C constant that is not necessarily usable in #if, then "#define SIZE_MAX ((size_t) -1)" will do and is commonly used in many packages.
