You get this error during the compilation of the mysql client libraries that are bundled with PHP.
Can you compile MySQL without problems? And can you possibly try gcc for the compilation of PHP?
What is you configure line?

THE VERSION installed version at the moment is 3.0.18 without problem.     
not compile with mysql, use to informix database
the procedure is
1.-

THANKS  GRACIAS

For now you can disable the use of MySQL by adding --withot-mysql to your configire line.

./configure --with-informix=yes --with-apache=/admvos/apache/apache_1.3.19
--enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --without-mysql

I reported this to the MySQL folks, as

again error in other lines
command compile

$./configure --with-informix=yes --with-apache=/admvos/apache/apache_1.3.19 --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --without-mysql

Input from the MySQL team:

The MySQL code does assume that INT_MAX and INT_MIN are defined
somewhere.  We include <limits.h> if it is found, and it should
have those macros defined in it.

It may be a communication problem between the PHP configure and
the MySQL code; if for some reason HAVE_LIMITS_H is not being
defined, then we won't include <limits.h>.  But it looks like
PHP is using HAVE_LIMITS_H in several places itself, so that
shouldn't be the case.  Also, INT_MAX is used in the pcrelib and
oci8 extensions, so I don't think it's strictly a MySQL issue.

It looks like maybe the user's limits.h is defective.  Or maybe
the compiler is not installed correctly, or something.  It would
be up to the user, I think, to track down what happened to
INT_MAX on his system.  I suppose we could add a test for it in
our config stuff, but I really think that's the wrong fix.

Can you take a look at your limits.h file?
