If the compilation succeeds and the compiled executable works, then the
limit is gone.  USE_LSB_TAG is the default way to build Emacs in Emacs-CVS,
but it's only available on the platforms where we know it works.
If it works with USE_LSB_TAG, there's no point keeping a version built
without USE_LSB_TAG.
