Ah.  Further digging shows that:

* On Linux, macOS, and NetBSD (probably all *BSD), <limits.h> is
included by <sys/param.h>, which fe-auth.c includes.  So that explains
why we didn't see a problem most places, regardless of compile options.
AFAICT <sys/param.h> is not specified by POSIX, so it's unsurprising
if Solaris has a different idea of what it should expose.

* The openssl headers #include <limits.h> from ossl_typ.h, which is
pulled in indirectly from most other openssl headers.  So that's why
margay didn't complain.

So I'm now satisfied that the problem is explained, and I'll go
put in the needful #include.  Thanks for the report!
