[Bug-tar] tar 1.19 compile error under Solaris 2.8

[Takakzu Satoh]

Dear Tar maintenace team,

I'm writing this about a compile error of tar 1.19 under the platform
Solaris 2.8.  I'm not sure such an old operating system is still
supported but I report the problem in any way.

When I ran "./configure ; make", I obtained the following message.

if gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..     -g -O2 -MT strerror.o -MD 
-MP -MF "$depbase.Tpo" -c -o strerror.o strerror.c; \
then mv -f "$depbase.Tpo" "$depbase.Po"; else rm -f "$depbase.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
strerror.c: In function 'rpl_strerror':
strerror.c:32: error: 'CHAR_BIT' undeclared (first use in this function)
strerror.c:32: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
strerror.c:32: error: for each function it appears in.)

I moved "#include <limits.h>" in lib/strerror.c as follows (output of
diff -u) and "make" successfully completed in Solaris 8 (However, I
have NOT tested it under any other platform).

For your information, some information on my platform are:

% uname -a
SunOS mathpc-satoh 5.8 Generic_117350-51 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100

Using built-in specs.
