I have a simple makefile, that says (in part)

compare.o: compare.c /usr/include/limits.h

which I believe means that compare.o depends on compare.c and limits.h

When I run the makefile, I get the following:
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/include/limits.h', needed by
`compare.o'.
  Stop.

This makefile worked under beta-16, although I do not believe that I had
/usr mounted then.
I tried it with beta-17, both with and without /usr mounted, with the above
result.

I have done a 'mount d:/j/gnu/beta-17 /usr', where beta-17 is the directory
where I have put all the gnu-win32 beta-17 code.

I have set gcc_exec_prefix as specified in the latest readme.txt:
	gcc_exec_prefix=d:\j\gnu\beta-17\H-i386-cygwin32\lib\gcc-lib\
I have a bin directory with sh.exe in it, and I have a tmp directory.

When I look in /usr/include, I see:
WEASEL_IN_A_BOX:/usr/include:2: ls -als
total 71
   0 drwxr-xr-x  11 500      everyone        0 Dec 31  1969 ./

   0 drwxr-xr-x   7 500      everyone        0 Dec 31  1969 readline/

specifically, I do not see limits.h, nor stdio.h

When I look for stdio.h, I find it in:
D:\j\gnu\beta-17\H-i386-cygwin32\lib\gcc-lib\i386-cygwin32\cygnus-2.7.2-9610
23\include

Why can't gcc/make file /usr/include/limits.h ?
What can I do to fix the problem?
