Hi all,

while compiling under APE, I met the following conflict several times, when both
#include <float.h>
#include <limits.h>
were present.


cpp: /386/include/ape/float.h:11  Macro redefinition of FLT_MAX
cpp: /386/include/ape/float.h:14  Macro redefinition of FLT_MIN
cpp: /386/include/ape/float.h:21  Macro redefinition of DBL_MAX
cpp: /386/include/ape/float.h:24  Macro redefinition of DBL_MIN


Obviously, I found e.g.:
/root/sys/include/ape/sys/limits.h:#define FLT_MAX	3.40282347E+38
/root/386/include/ape/float.h:#define FLT_MAX		3.40282347e+38
etc....

Is this an intention, or a bug? If intention, I would be glad for a workaround.

Best regards,
Peter.
