The patch mostly worked.  However, autoconf gave an error about a
"possibly undefined macro" for the new symbol gl_PATHMAX.  I added a
`m4_pattern_allow' command to m4/gl-comp.m4 and that made autoconf
happy.  I am attaching my diff for gl-comp.m4.


After applying the patch & running autoconf, configure, make, the
compilation proceeds further but unfortunately now encounters an error
on the statement `verify (INT_MAX <= PTRDIFF_MAX)'.
