Yes, it's supposed to be there.  OTOH, so is limits.h, i.e. the
HAVE_LIMITS_H test shouldn't be necessary either.  So they're just sanity
checks.  But you're right, if UCHAR_MAX isn' defined, I was thinking the
preprocessor would expand

#if UCHAR_MAX != 255

to

#if != 255

and then the error message would be incomprehensible.  But unknown names in
preprocessor conditionals actually get replaced by 0, and

#if 0 != 255

does just as well.

It should work fine.
