 Hi,

  This program seems to be only for GNU/Linux, so you can expect it to only run

on GNU/Linux which should always have asprintf.  Using asprintf is usually the
right way to go, unless the upstream source needs to support solaris.  As Jeff 
said sometimes a patch like this is needed to get upstream to accept it.
However,
in this case upstream does not need to use PATH_MAX.

  I hope that helps.
