Ok. I've tried it now with the following configure options and 21.0/b57:
../configure --prefix=/prog/xemacs/21.0
--exec-prefix=/prog/xemacs/21.0/$CONFIG --with-pop --with-site-lisp
--with-sound=both --error-checking=none
--site-libraries=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} --site-includes=${C_INCLUDE_PATH}
and got the same problem. I've found out, that ULONG_MAX will be
defined in /usr/include/limits.h only, if the C-compiler isn't the gcc
version greater 2 (__GNUC__ >= 2). A gcc 2.x will read instead
/usr/include/linux/limits.h, but in this file there's no definition of
ULONG_MAX.
I'm wondering, that no one else has this problem.
