Description John Baldwin freebsd_committer

The base system no longer uses LINK_MAX and in theory POSIX permits this to not be defined requiring applications to use pathconf() to query it at runtime instead.  Note that the patch must be applied to a recent head (r327009 or later).

Patch is at https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13658

Exp-run looks fine.

Log:
  Remove LINK_MAX.

  After recent changes to change filesystems to use filesystem-specific
  limits, LINK_MAX is no longer used in the base system.  Applications
  should in theory be able to cope with a lack of LINK_MAX by using
  pathconf().
