Could you make sure ‘PATH_MAX’ is only defined on GNU/Hurd?
It might be best to just come up with a patch to the source. For Guix,
an acceptable patch is just:
#ifndef PATH_MAX
# define PATH_MAX 4096
#endif
added in the right place.
The ideal patch for upstream is something that uses malloc and similar
instead of fixed-length arrays.
Thanks,
