Well, not with the make file but with your system. On our RedHat Linux


boxes, both asm/sigcontext.h and linux/limits.h are in the rpm


kernel-headers-*, so I suggest you try installing that. However, again on


our systems, glibc-devel requires kernel-headers.  So either Caldera have


got their dependencies wrong (and we have encountered missing files on


Caldera systems before) or you did not allow dependencies to be installed.


Try



rpm -q --requires glibc-devel



to see if kernel-headers is a dependency.  I vaguely recall there are ways


to check for any missing required packages on RPM-based systems, but as I


have never had need of them, I can't recall the details.
