    How @#&$?~@#! can someone write such code!
    Isn't MIT ashamed to have its name attached to this?

Not in the slightest.  Perhaps you should try writing a system as
large as what we distribute, and have it compile and run with at
most minor modifications on as many systems as for what we distribute ...

    This SIZEOF works only under two assumptions:

If it doesn't work for you, fix it and send us the diffs, or get an
ANSI compiler.

    Furthermore the ansi type of replacement fails.
    Probably this is to be considered a bug in fx/c.

No, it's a trivial bug in the macros.  Since we didn't really have
an ANSI compiler to properly test with, this fell through the cracks.
