>Description:
GNU/Hurd doesn't have PATH_MAX or MAXHOSTNAMELEN (arbitrarily long strings can be used). Since attempting to replace every instance of static allocation with dynamic buffer management would make for a very intrusive patch, I'm proposing to just define the limits as alternative.
I took care to use the same limits Rump namespace has, just to avoid accidental cross-definition of a different value causing damage somewhere (e.g. overflows or such).
