The problem is that by default Automake adds "." to the include path 
(which is a pretty dumb idea IMO), and that msort has a header named 
"limits.h". So now when GMP requests , the msort's one gets 
included, instead of the system-wide one. Of course, the msort's header 
doesn't define UINT_MAX and friends, hence the error.


Adding "nostdinc" to AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS in Makefile.am and then 
regenerating Makefile.in should fix the bug.
