PATH_MAX



Hi,

The latest AustinDraft (that, what is final now) defines PATH_MAX
as 4096 (including the terminatng 0).

The binary test suite is compiled with PATH_MAX = 4095.
The problem:
kernel uses PATH_MAX = 4095 without 0.
test suite uses 4095 including 0.

So a lot of tests fails.
If you know uses a fixed kernel and recompiled glibc with 
PATH_MAX = 4096, also some tests fails, because sysconfig
does not return the expected value.

Any suggestions what to do? Should LSB require PATH_MAX 4096
and compile the test suite with this?
