Linux 1.2.13

libc.so.5.0.9
>Description:
On this system the following error is produced:
http_core.c: In function `set_rlimit':
http_core.c:2029: `rlim_t' undeclared (first use this function)
http_core.c:2029: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
http_core.c:2029: for each function it appears in.)
http_core.c:2029: parse error before `cur'
http_core.c:2043: `cur' undeclared (first use this function)
http_core.c:2056: `max' undeclared (first use this function)
make[1]: *** [http_core.o] Error 1

Using the suggestion in http_core.c line 46

/* If your platform doesn't define rlim_t then typedef it in ap_config.h */

results in multiple definition errors in other modules that recursively include
the ap_config.h file.



make: *** [subdirs] Error 1
>How-To-Repeat:
Unless you can duplicate the conditions on this system, no.

you might try to typedef rlim_t and see if the results are the same on 
a more recent system.
>Fix:
The simple solution was to put the typedef directly in the http_core.c file.

I suggest a change to ./Configure to properly handle this.
