[bug-gs] building 8.10 on HPUX 11i

[Palandri E.M. (Mark)]

I also ran into this problem on HPUX and after a bit of debugging, I traced 
it to the routine gp_unifs.c. In this routine a test is made on the length 
of a pathname, comparing it to a symbol "FILENAME_MAX". On HPUX, this 
symbol is defined in <stdio.h> as being 14. This is much too short for most 
path names, the test fails and the code exits. I added the following code 
to gp_unifs.c to kludge around it and it seems to have solved the problem

#if (FILENAME_MAX < 256)
#  undef FILENAME_MAX
#  define FILENAME_MAX 256
#endif

For what it is worth.
