--------------------
the configure file was looking for linux/limits.h file which is only found if 
the kernel header files are included into the system.  I had to add the linux 
kernel header files using YaST2 (Suse 10.3 linux) and this cured the problem 
with the Athlon 64 3200+ build

something to make a note of, on the platforms page
