See:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/limits.h.html
~~~
A definition of one of the symbolic names in the following list shall
be omitted from <limits.h> on specific implementations where the
corresponding value is equal to or greater than the stated minimum,
but is unspecified.
~~~
GLIBC on x86 does not define PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX because the value is
greater than the minimum and has no artificially imposed limit.
