[Bug java/21821] New: MAXPATHLEN usage in [gcc]/libjava/gnu/java/nio/channels/natFileChannelImpl.cc

["ams at gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Please do not use MAXPATHLEN, it is a arbitrary limit, and is not
defined on GNU.  Currently this makes libjava (gcc 4.0.0) unbuildable on GNU
since [gcc]/libjava/gnu/java/nio/channels/natFileChannelImpl.cc assumes that
MAXPATHLEN is defined.  Please do not use these kind of limits in GNU programs.

Not having MAXPATHLEN is perfectly compliant with POSIX, same goes for
MAXHOSTNAMELEN, PATH_MAX etc.
