Hi,

I tried to make netkit-ftp-0.17 within cygwin and I got the following result:

$ make
(cd  ftp && make)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Richard/netkit-ftp-0.17/ftp'

make[1]: *** [glob.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Richard/netkit-ftp-0.17/ftp'
make: *** [ftp.build] Error 2



As a result, I edited C:\cygwin\usr\include\limits.h and inserted the following line:

#define ARG_MAX			_POSIX_ARG_MAX

below the "#define RTSIG_MAX		_POSIX_RTSIG_MAX" line.

and I then successfully built netkit-ftp-0.17.

If this is the right thing to do, can the limits.h file be updated to include this change?
