hmm.  my first guess is /etc/localtime has the wrong contents.  mine is
linked to /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles.  i'd check all your
`date' links for timezone links -all- point to the same file.

limits.h is an OS specific file.  if you're using linux, these two links
should exist.  /usr/include/linux -> /path/to/linux/include/linux and
/usr/include/asm -> /path/to/linux/include/asm.  if you cd to
/path/to/linux, and run `make symlinks' with a recent version of the
kernel, these links should be made for you properly; including asm
pointing to your specific platform.
