I think you may have confused something here - while the Pathname
Variable Values {LINK_MAX}, {NAME_MAX} and {PATH_MAX} may be omitted
from <limits.h> due to varying file system characteristics, the
portable Minimum Values (_POSIX_*), which provide the limits within
which a strictly conforming application must be able to work, may NOT!

Please back out this change.
