rpm compilation fails on GNU/Hurd due unconditionalized PATH_MAX

Reported by: atkac Assigned to: pmatilai Priority: major Milestone:
Component: rpm Version: RPM Development Keywords: Cc:

Description

GNU/Hurd doesn't have PATH_MAX macro defined. POSIX says when this macro is undefined path can be unlimited but I don't think you have to deal with unlimited paths right now. Attached patch should be sufficient.

What I've had in mind is to add a mallocing version of realpath() to librpmio to avoid PATH_MAX and related issues completely but this'll do for now. Applied, thanks for the patch.
