Yes, and this surgery would be overkill for gnulib. 99.9% of all users

When using kernel APIs (like cygwin does), then yes, the limit is 32k.
But when using Windows APIs (like mingw and MSVC do), then you are
better off
PATH_MAX is this value for win32 name not for kernel name like \\?\c\.
It is 32k in this case.

Another PATH_MAX related compilation failure on MSVC occurs in lib/stat.c:
stat.c(76) : fatal error C1189: #error : "Please port this replacement to your
platform"
make[4]: *** [stat.obj] Error 2
This fixes it.

stat: Support for MSVC.
* lib/stat.c:
lib/tmpfile.c and lib/tmpdir.c give compilation errors on MSVC 9,
because PATH_MAX is not defined.
Also, mingw defines PATH_MAX in , but to a wrong value (259
instead of 260). Same mistake as on HP-UX.
This fixes it:

pathmax: Support for native Windows
