Comment (by michael):

 One guess (needs more review) of the root cause is that the stmp-fixinc
 Makefile target is correctly called during building, but during installing
 (install-gcc) it is called again although it shouldn't be. This renames
 the needed file limits.h to 'syslimits.h' before the install script can
 find and copy limits.h.

 Grep the Makefile.in for 'stmp-fixinc' and you'll find the logic in
 question.
