Although GNU/Hurd supports unlimited path lengths
only bounded by available memory, for now we can use
an arbitrary limit on PATH_MAX that matches what POSIX requires.
We don't have bandwidth to fix this properly right now.

The Hurd currently doesn't have any TPM driver, compilation fails
for missing _IOT__IOTBASE_* symbols unless these are left undefined.

Since all platforms except sun include this header,
clean up the ifdefs.

glibc has a stubs mechanism: a function can be declared in the
system headers, but only implemented as a stub that always fails with
ENOSYS, for example. Therefore when implementing this function
we cannot use static.

Could we get this configuration integrated in our CI to be sure
it won't bitrot?
See how we test OpenBSD or Haiku for example:
tests/vm/Makefile.include:28:X86_IMAGES := freebsd netbsd openbsd
haiku.x86_64
Thanks,
Phil.

I took a quick look, it appears virtio-blk and virtio-net are both required
to automate the building of the test vm, but GNU/Hurd does not have drivers for these yet.
I can take another look at this when virtio is working in Hurd with rump framework.
Thanks,
Damien

What block and network devices does it understand. We do emulate some of
the more common ones and I think the old school IDE/ATAPI interfaces as
well.
