For a start that would be fine. By rebuilding you get static buffers of the new PATH_MAX size. As long as which checks if the path length doesn't exceed the buffer size, it should be safe to use. It wouldn't work for paths > 4K, but that's a far way off. Just check if it uses strlen() > PATH_MAX or strncpy(a,b,PATH_MAX) sort of expressions.
