Shouldn't those #ifndef __GNU__ be replaced with #ifndef LIMIT where
LIMIT is the limit definition in question?
And, at least in the case of MAXPATHLEN, sysconf() should probably be
checked too.... this would make it clean for other (non-hurd) systems
that don't have these limits. Marcus put up a good description of how
to do this correctly on the debian-hurd porting page (mentioned in an
earlier article).
Also, if you have Advanced Programming In The UNIX Environment by
W. Richard Stevens (a book I greatly recommend), read page 30 and
onwards for a good discussion on limits on UNIX systems.
