I think we should override gcc's <limits.h> entirely. This would be easy -
just take out the #include_next and the #ifndef around the ANSI limits
definitions. We'd have to specialize those limits to each processor, but
that should only require a bits/ansi_lim.h for wordsize-32 and wordsize-64.
gcc's header already defers to the one we install.
