---------------------------------------------+------------------------------
Boost fails to build on systems that do not define PATH_MAX, e.g. Hurd, as
it is used unconditionally in pwd.c.
A Debian user report: http://bugs.debian.org/487343
and submitted a patch suitable for a system with GNU libc.
The patch applied to Debian builds of Boost is attached.
