I just reproduced it in a vanilla up-to-date pbuilder sid chroot, which has:
gcc --version is "gcc (Debian 4.3.3-5) 4.3.3"
libc6-dev is version 2.9-4
/etc/debian_version is "squeeze/sid"
uname -a is "Linux frobnitz 2.6.26-1-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 14 17:02:29 UTC 2009
x86_64 GNU/Linux"
Out of these, I think the glibc version is probably the most relevant. Most
likely, some system header previously included limits.h indirectly but now
doesn't. In a quick test, it appears that #include does define
LONG_MAX.
The full pbuilder build log is attached.
