i had to fix things in heirloom to be able to compile
it with pcc+musl
i did about the same hacks, but then i ran various tests
and some of the more obscure tools failed so i figured
heirloom is not that good quality, eg.:
nl -b a -v 0
(i would never use nl but it turns out the build
script mess of dash does ..for whatever reason)

i think you cannot export it unconditionally
PATH_MAX is in limits.h which is also specified by iso c
so you cannot just export it if posix is not required
explicitly
