I've forwarded the above to Glenn Davis, since he's the author of MAKS.ZIP.

The "#include <values.h>" is generated by yacc, in creating ncgentab.c
from ncgen.y.  I see know way to suppress its generation, but you're
right, it doesn't seem to be needed.  When I delete it from ncgentab.c
and rebuild under Solaris 2.6, everything works fine without it.  If
it's not needed on other systems either, I'll remove it from ncgentab.c
for the next distribution.
