Prompted by recent discussion on bug-gnulib,
>From 0bcfe87631993b3bd60bbc37ba26f2e267ebb8c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] maint: don't use gnulib's pathmax module; define PATH_MAX if
needed
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove pathmax.
* src/system.h: Don't include "pathmax.h".
(PATH_MAX) [!PATH_MAX]: Define to 8192. Defining it to a constant
is preferable to using a definition from pathmax.h that might expand
to pathconf ("/", _PC_PATH_MAX). Prompted by discussion leading to:
