Please use the patch below instead as ‘sed-hurd-path-max.patch’: It’s
the one from upstream (slightly edited for compactness), and we’ll
directly see that it’s from upstream.

OK to push to ‘core-updates’ with this change.

Thanks!

    Set PATH_MAX to some constant in case it is not defined in system
    headers.

        * basicdefs.h (PATH_MAX): Defined to some constant in case it is
        not defined by system headers.
        * sed/utils.c: Do not include pathmax.h anymore.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Do not use the gnulib module
        pathmax.
