clangs limits.h has:
#if __STDC_HOSTED__ && __has_include_next(<limits.h>)
#include_next <limits.h>
#endif
So it does depend on system's own limits.h which should have this
definition. And cygwin's /usr/include/limits.h does have NAME_MAX
defined but show its being hidden. Checking the preprocessed source
file might help to see why.
