This isn't the right way to handle BUFSIZ.  The right thing to do is
to define __BUFSIZ__ for your target in libc/include/sys/config.h:

#if defined(miosix)	/* Or whatever is the right preprocessor macro */
#define __BUFSIZ__ 512
#endif

The same goes for many other settings.  See the config.h file for
details.  XStormy16, for instance, a 16 bit target, defines __BUFSIZ__
to 16 in that file.
