Not at all.

There are three options:

1) Copy <limits> plus <stl_config.h> from an updated SGI STL implimentation
to your include path.
2) Use SGI STL 3.3 "as is" as a replacement for your existing STL.
3) Use STLPort as a replacement for your existing STL.

BTW the forthcomming gcc version 3 should make this problem just "go away".
