Package: icu Version: 4.8.1-2 Severity: important Tags: patch User: debian-h...@lists.debian.org Usertags: hurd
Hi, currently[1], icu 4.8.1 fails to build on GNU/Hurd. Basically, the switch from U_HURD to U_LINUX in configure enabled a code path in source/common/putil.c which unconditionally relies on PATH_MAX. While a proper fix would not rely on PATH_MAX at all, the code relies on fixed PATH_MAX-sizes buffers too much, so the quick fix (at least just for Debian) is to define PATH_MAX if not defined.
