thanks for the feedback. 
Regarding the ABI -- my patch considers that: The ABI is strictly the
same, even if no application should use that ABI (it's exported, but not
declared by the header): The patch does not add the additional
parameter, but enforces the limit PATH_MAX -- this is consitent with the
usage of this function from (within) the library.
IMHO applications using this function would be buggy as it uses a
non-properly-prototyped-exported function; also codesearch.d.n indicates
that there is no such call in the archives [1]

Regarding #770501, thanks for the hint (sigh, why do people not indicate
that in the bugs they want to fix? :-/ e-g blocked-by or pending tags or
just submitting the patch to the BTS?)
(IMHO issue #766257, is not covered by the freeze policy)
