Please note the list of headers at the top of the sample code I gave.
On a POSIX-compliant system you should be including all of these:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <unistd.h>

It may be necessary to make some of them conditional on autoconf macros
in order to support older Unix variants.

First, fix the real problem.  That may be useful as a fallback where the
limits really aren't available.
