This bug report does not explain anything, specifically:
* What IS the PATH_MAX problem?
* Why isn't PATH_MAX defined, its mentioned in the man pages?
* Where is the other source of these programs that now need
alternatives?
I'd agree that the way of dynamically allocating space for readlink is a
better idea, but that hardly makes it an important bug.
I'm not shifting essential stuff that procps has around with an
alternatives system until I understand why it needs to happen. At the
very least I'll be checking to see if the alternative files exist (eg
w.procps) before I run update-alternatives
