Re: [PATCH] libutil: find: Define PATH_MAX for GNU/Hurd systems.

Hi

Since PATH_MAX is buffer size that realpath(3) assumes,

setting a wrong size would destroy memory.

How can we know correct size?

Hello everyone,

On GNU/Hurd systems PATH_MAX is not defined and as a result the latest
version of Global cannot be built for them.

This patch is a workaround for this.  Defining to 200 was an arbitrary
choice from my part.

Thank you,
Manolis
