Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

This function is missing on some platforms: Minix 3.1.8, mingw, MSVC 9, BeOS.
On platforms where rlim_t is a 32-bit type, this function does not allow to set limits larger than 4 GB, such as for RLIMIT_FSIZE. The fix is to use the AC_SYS_LARGEFILE macro.
