>Description:
POSIX shows this SYNOPSIS (omitting angle brackets to support send-pr)

       #include sys/resource.h

       int getrlimit(int resource, struct rlimit *rlp);
       int setrlimit(int resource, const struct rlimit *rlp);

FreeBSD however needs sys/types.h and sys/time.h in addition to that.

	
>How-To-Repeat:
Use this in an autoconf script and run autoconf, then ./configure

AC_CHECK_TYPES([rlim_t],,,[#include <sys/resource.h>])

This works virtually everywhere, Linux, Solaris, SunOS 4.1, but not on FreeBSD
	
>Fix:
Have sys/resource.h include the relevant portions of sys/types.h and sys/time.h
