[oe] xserver-xorg, PATH_MAX and limits.h

When trying to use an external toolchain (built with meta- 
toolchain.bb) to compile xserver-xorg, I get an error about PATH_MAX  
being undeclared (see below)...for some reason, the limits.h with  
this define in it is not being picked up... as you can see, my cross- 
toolchain include directory has been included with -I/usr/local/i586/ 
oe/i586-stv-linux/include. The limits.h file exists at /usr/local/ 
i586/oe/i586-stv-linux/include/limits.h and also at /usr/local/i586/ 
oe/i586-stv-linux/include/linux/limits.h. It is this second file  
which has PATH_MAX defined, and this is not being included by gcc. If  
I alter PsFonts.c like so

#include "Ps.h"

+#include <linux/limits.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>


then it compiles OK but I'm not sure if this is actually a problem  
with xserver-xorg, or if it's a problem with the toolchain, and  
therefore with the *-cross-sdk/meta-toolchain stuff in general. Would  
this patch be an acceptable fix, or is this likely to just break  
things more?
