This patch enables building gcc-4.6.4 using gcc-2.95.3 and glibc-2.2.5

  * Tweak Makefile to allow overriding NATIVE_SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR using #:makeflags
  * Add missing limits.h include.
  * Add SSIZE_MAX define.  The SSIZE_MAX define has been added to Mes
    upstream and can be removed with the next Mes release.
  * Remove -fbuilding-libgcc flag, it assumes features being present from a
    newer gcc or glibc.
  * [MES_BOOTSTRAP_GCC]: Disable threads harder.

Upstream status: not presented upstream.

exit immediately.  Instead use '&amp;&amp; false' to indicate an expected failure.
