Bug#724897: mjpegtools: FTBFS on hurd-i386: unconditional PATH_MAX and MAXPATHLEN used

Source: mjpegtools
Version: 1:2.0.0+debian-2

Hi,

currently [1] mjpegtools does not build on GNU/Hurd.

The problem is the unconditional usage of PATH_MAX and MAXPATHLEN,
neither of which is defined on Hurd.

I fixed the issues in a clean way (hopefully) and sent the patches
upstream [2]; since those patches can sound intrusive and they have no
feedback yet (reported them few minutes ago), I am asking to locally
apply in Debian the attached patch, which does a simplier ifndef/define
job (and should not break things).

Would it be possible to upload it sometime soon? I just discovered
mjpegtools is a build dependency for a couple of sources involved in
the currently ongoing libav9 transition, which then cannot be rebuilt
on Hurd due to the lack of mjpegtools.

Thanks,
