Oh, and we've been using our patch for 2 years now w/o bad things
happening.  We have a build system that tends to expand the paths
beyond the limit.  Part of that is that we build a chroot enviornment
that we then use to build our product so we can update the host
enviornment w/o worrying about breaking the target (of course, minor
speed-bumps along the way happen, but that's life).  It has worked out
really well.
