With clang 17 and CC="clang -std=gnu2x", I see this compilation error:
../../gltests/test-limits-h.c:118:16: error: static assertion failed due to
requirement '1 == (((1U << (8 - 1)) - 1) * 2) + 1'
118 | static_assert (BOOL_MAX == (((1U << (BOOL_WIDTH - 1)) - 1) * 2) + 1);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/usr/include/limits.h:186:20: note: expanded from macro 'BOOL_MAX'
186 | # define BOOL_MAX 1
| ^
1 error generated.
make[3]: *** [Makefile:3853: test-limits-h.o] Error 1
The cause are the values of BOOL_WIDTH and BOOL_MAX. This program
================================================================================
#include <limits.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main () { printf ("BOOL_WIDTH = %d, BOOL_MAX = %d\n", BOOL_WIDTH,
BOOL_MAX); }
================================================================================
prints
BOOL_WIDTH = 1, BOOL_MAX = 1
with CC="gcc -std=gnu2x", but
BOOL_WIDTH = 8, BOOL_MAX = 1
with CC="clang -std=gnu2x" (for all clang version 14 ... 17).
Apparently I had misinterpreted the meaning of BOOL_WIDTH. (Cf.
ISO C 23 ยง E.(3)).
This patch fixes the compilation error.

limits-h: Fix BOOL_MAX value.
* lib/limits.in.h (BOOL_MAX): Define to 1, not to 2^BOOL_WIDTH-1.
* tests/test-limits-h.c (main): Change expected value of BOOL_MAX.
