CHAR_WIDTH undeclared

I get the error ‘CHAR_WIDTH’ undeclared when I try to compile this simple program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h>

int main()
{
  printf("CHAR_BIT = %d\n", CHAR_BIT);
  printf("CHAR_WIDTH = %d\n", CHAR_WIDTH);
  return (0);
}

with

gcc ./show_char_width.c -o show_char_width

and gcc: GNU C17 (Ubuntu 8.3.0-6ubuntu1) version 8.3.0 (x86_64-linux-gnu) compiled by GNU C version 8.3.0, GMP version 6.1.2, MPFR version 4.0.2, MPC version 1.1.0, isl version isl-0.20-GMP, kernel: 5.0.0-37-generic.

As stated here CHAR_WIDTH should be defined in limits.h which is included in my program. So why I get this error?

With the -v option I found that the library will be searched in those directories:

#include "..." search starts here:
#include <...> search starts here:
 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/8/include
 /usr/local/include
 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/8/include-fixed
 /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu
 /usr/include

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/8/include-fixed contain a limits.h that include syslimits.h from the same dir which in turn include the next limits.h, that from my understanding should be located in the /usr/include directory.

The CHAR_WIDTH macro is indeed defined in those files but under some conditions that exceed my actual knowledge.

The conditions I found untill now are:

/* The integer width macros are not defined by GCC's <limits.h> before
   GCC 7, or if _GNU_SOURCE rather than
   __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ is used to enable this feature.  */
#if __GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)
# ifndef CHAR_WIDTH
#  define CHAR_WIDTH 8
# endif

and :

#ifdef __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__
/* TS 18661-1 widths of integer types.  */
# undef CHAR_WIDTH
# define CHAR_WIDTH __SCHAR_WIDTH__

That's why I need your help.

Note: I get the same error with all other macros described in A.5.1 notably: SCHAR_WIDTH, INT_WIDTH, LONG_WIDTH, etc.
