Re: [Freeipmi-devel] 0.8.2 Solaris patch

[Al Chu]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the catch.  I wrote the attached patch, to try and load
headers (and subsequently MAXHOSTNAMELEN) more correctly and
consistently globally.  I consider that the more core problem (e.g. in
some places I didn't even try and load limits.h for Linux).  Can you
give it a shot and LMK if it works for you.

Is this what:

+ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -Iconfig

solves?  I'm a little confused, b/c this should be automatic.
