Please send this patch to the gcc-patches mailing list for review, if it still applies MAXPATHLEN is still used in fixincludes. Seeing that this patch is over 10 years, I am not sure it even applies and thus a good idea to forward it to gcc-patches for review. The fix is simple enough in fixincludes (simply use xmalloc).
