Here's the patch that I currently use. I moved the limits stuff from 
configure.in to gen-scmconfig.c. The patch introduces a lot of ifdefs 
that check if INT8_MAX etc. are defined. If the macros are not 
available constants are used. I've tested this patch on Debian 
Woody/i386, OpenBSD 3.5/i386, HP-UX 11.0 and Mac OS X 10.3.4.

I also tried to build Guile under Cygwin. I could build guile.exe but 
the binary segfaults. I don't think that this problem is related to my 
changes. At least, scmconfig.h looks good. I'll try to investigate this 
problem but I'm not familiar with Windows and Cygwin.

BTW, HP-UX doesn't seem to define SIZE_MAX.
