Yes, we have lots of Posix _POSIX_* constants, and quite a few others.
I'm afraid that without out limits.h being included by the one which
comes with GCC, some programs which need those constants might not
compile.

The problem is, again, with any program which compiled with our
stddef.h because it used some data type defined by sys/djtypes.h.  It
could fail to compile with GCC's stddef.h.
