Attached is a patch fixing the PATH_MAX issue. In fact the whole
function get_path_max() is obsolete with the patch. For now it is
commented out.
Regarding the GNU/Hurd build one (1/70) test fails:
FAIL: lib/logproto/tests/test_logproto
==
[2017-12-27T21:07:38.64] Plugin module not found in 'module-path';
module-path='(null)', module='syslogformat'
Until the cause for module-path being null is found the build will not
succeed. However, the PATH_MAX issue is solved.
(A suspicion is that that a python module creates that empty module-
path. To be verified and solved.)
