See the <limits.h> introduction at page 268 line 8756:

    Many of the symbols listed here are not defined by the ISO/IEC
    9899: 1999 standard. Such symbols are not shown as CX shaded.

The only uses of CX on the <limits.h> page are to show cases where
POSIX differs from C99 on the allowed values of some macros such as
CHAR_BIT and INT_MAX.
