You are quite wrong here.

LFN (long filename) support is present in all the operating systems
you've mentioned, and works fine with FAT32.

In the OLPC ecosystem, only Open Firmware has an 8.3 limit, and there's
nothing in your use case which suggests that Open Firmware is to be
used for content delivery!
