What is really broken?  The constants for the 32-bit platforms which
are not using the 4GB limit should remain at 2GB and this is infinity.
Even in the kernel.  For 64-bit platforms this is the same.

Only x86 had problems in the first place since now in the kernel 2GB
does not anymore mean unlimited.  This is what your patches fixed.

So, to proceed the current

	sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/resource.h

file should be copied in an x86 specific dir and the original file
should be changed back to use the old value.
