For the time being I've committed
  
http://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git/commitdiff/6fbcc14a5d39ca91228f88a64d68a1f3c2d67293

which restricts the hack to FreeBSD only.  If it's necessary for OpenBSD 
or NetBSD as well it could be extended.  Better would be to restrict the 
hack somewhat to only define the necessary macros.

FWIW: the error mode when having __GNUC__ with glibc is that <limits.h> 
won't be found, because glibc include_nexts a limits.h that's supposed to 
be coming from the compiler, when __GNUC__.  TCC doesn't provide one (and 
doesn't need to).


Ciao,
Michael.
