We have GnuPG 2.0.18 built on AIX. gpg-agent --help takes forever to
start. The reason is because get_max_fds() in common/exechelp.c
returns 2147483647 for max_fds. This is regardless of the limit placed
on file descriptors:
  $ limit
  cputime         unlimited
  filesize        unlimited
  datasize        unlimited
  stacksize       128MB
  coredumpsize    unlimited
  resident        unlimited
  addressspace    unlimited
  descriptors     2048

So I guess we have to come up with an alternate way to get the max_fds
on this platform?
