That assumes you have a correct limits.h on the system, which is an

Do you have any specific examples here, found outside of a museum?
Current Autoconf more or less tells users to assume C89 for new
programs, and limits.h exists in a free-standing implementation, too.
My own software does not currently depend on limits.h but tests I did
separately on many types of systems (including several 12 year old
ones) with a program which specifically exercises limits.h (including
'char') did not encounter any problems.
