as sdt.h includes the C++ "limits" header file when being processed in C++ mode.
As my_globals.h as already been included at that point the min() and max() methods in the
class templates in the limits header clash with the min() and max() macros defined in
my_globals.h

How to repeat:

try to build 5.5 with systemtap-sdt-dev package installed

Suggested fix:

make sure that probes_mysql_dtrace.h is included before my_globals.h

Workarounds:

uninstall "systemtap-sdt-dev" or set the cmake setting ENABLE_DTRACE to OFF
