This is a problem in the C preprocessor.
ANSI C says that all expressions in a #if are evaluated in 32 bits, but
the older C compilers seem to do as they please.
In llimits.h, these compilers get the following comparisons wrong:

#if MAXARG_U > MAX_INT
#if MAXARG_S > MAX_INT
#if MAXARG_A > MAX_INT

So, to fix 4.0 alpha, just do

#define MAXARG_U        MAX_INT
#define MAXARG_S        MAX_INT
#define MAXARG_A        MAX_INT
