Hi Gene,

It appears as if you may be missing the limits.h include file, which on
our Solaris system can be found in /usr/include/limits.h.
That's where all these constants are supposed to be declared.

I've appended a 7-line test program that compiles, links, and executes OK
with gcc 2.7.2 on our Solaris 2.5.1. platform, invoked with "gcc -o l
l.c; ./l".  If this doesn't work with your gcc, you may want to try to
find out what's wrong with the gcc configuration and fix it first using
this little test program.
