Searching for <linux/limit.h> in the guix git checkout, I found:

   ;; Glibc's <limits.h> refers to <linux/limit.h>, for instance, so glibc
   ;; users should automatically pull Linux headers as well.  On GNU/Hurd,
   ;; libc provides <hurd.h>, which includes a bunch of Hurd and Mach headers,
   ;; so both should be propagated.
   (propagated-inputs
    (if (hurd-target?)
        `(("hurd-core-headers" ,hurd-core-headers))
        `(("kernel-headers" ,linux-libre-headers))))

(The hurd bit is not relevant here, and in this case I'd assume that no
propagation is required.)

Greetings,
Maxime.
