I can't check that since I'm behind a firewall ;)))


However note that all the rest of the library was compiled with my
CXX=/mypath/c++, only the script for doing the limits fell back
to the system's default g++.

So the problem was more one of inconsistent use of compilers
between the main make system and the script to determine the limits.


If you know about the problem then it's fine.
