I don't see why the suggested code is better than the existing one.
HAVE_GETRLIMIT means more than its name says, as you point out, so
DJGPP is correct in not defining one.

I think I was unclear, sorry: DJGPP does define getrlimit. It is only the MSDOS config.in that says it is not defined. If you run ./configure, then it detects getrlimit, and defines HAVE_GETRLIMIT.
