[re@ probably doesn't need to be CC'd on this thread.

I sent David O'Brien a similar patch about a week ago. IIRC, he's already seeking re@ approval. There are some other issues which prevented me from completing the latest TenDRA snapshot build. 1. The new #warning in <sys/syslimits.h> isn't #if __GNUC__ ... #endif protected. Adding the protection doesn't fix it for some reason (ie. it's complaining about unknown CPP syntax in a conditional that doesn't apply.) I haven't looked to see what the C rule is for this, but I suspect TenDRA is doing something wrong. 2. TenDRA assumes an older POSIX system and makes wrong assumptions about some limits it happens to duplicate in its version of <limits.h>.
