Sounds like gcc-help@gnu.org is the list for that.

No, it's true in the case of:
#define HAVE_DECL_GETRLIMIT 0

You can check auto-host.h to find how it's defined on your system, and
you can check config.log to find out why it's defined that way.  (Both
are in the same directory as system.h.)

gcc shouldn't care too much about that, although you'll have to tell
glibc where to find your kernel headers.  Be sure to read the gcc
installation instructions; it's not as simple as "./configure && make
&& make install".
