I had this same problem, and narrowed it down to /usr/X11R6/include/ being
in the include path twice. As to why having it in the include path twice
caused INT_MAX to not be seen I don't know... I was just happy to comment
one of them out in the Makefiles. 

However, I remember that there was a limits.h in that directory as well as
in /usr/include/, but a cursory examination didn't reveal why it messing
things up (INT_MAX is in there too). I am running XFree86 3.3.1. If you
want I can look into it further tonight, but right now I have to leave for
uni.
