I use FreeBSD on some machines.
MAXPATHLEN is a system-defined value of the longest path a function such as
open() can handle, so you can't just arbitrarily increase it. If your OS
provides a MAXPATHLEN value that is smaller than what open() can handle, file a
bug with the FreeBSD folks. If it doesn't provide any such define, rsync.h
will set it to be a conservative 1024 bytes. If you find that FreeBSD has some
other define for this maximal value I can either get rsync.h to make use of it,
or you can get the FreeBSD folks to define MAXPATHLEN.
On FreeBSD 8.0 (a little old), MAXPATHLEN is defined in
<sys/param.h>.
/usr/include/sys/param.h:
#define MAXPATHLEN PATH_MAX
And PATH_MAX is defined in <sys/syslimits.h> which is included
from <sys/param.h>.
/usr/include/sys/syslimits.h:
#define PATH_MAX 1024 /* max bytes in pathname */
