I got the same error. Which made me think, that I had to help the
build process to find linux/limit.h. Even though I have read for quite
some time ago, that in debian you should need to tamper with symlinks
for kernel-headers, I did just that.
# cd /usr/include/linux
# ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-6-486/include/linux/limits.h
Tried to build again, and this time the build process got longer and
bailed out with an other error:
Making all in cups...
make[2]: Entering directory `/root/cups-1.3.8/cups'

This time asm/socket.h is not on my system, but many very similar files do exist here:
$ find /usr/include -iname socket.h
/usr/include/bits/socket.h
/usr/include/sys/socket.h
/usr/include/asm-i486/socket.h
/usr/include/asm-x86_64/socket.h
but not asm/socket.h
Rather than continuing to manually hack around each the compilation
path/problem, I would like to understand what is wrong with my system.
