Description

The regression tests of the asio library from boost are failed to compile due to undefined symbol IOV_MAX. According to POSIX this symbol should be defined in <limits.h> header. But when compiling with stdcxx the /usr/include/limits.h file has not been included at all.

test.cpp

#include <limits.h>

$ gcc -E test.cpp -I/var/tmp/stdcxx/4.2.x/include -I/var/tmp/stdcxx/4.2.x/include/ansi -I/var/tmp/stdcxx/4.2.x/15D/include
