FreeBSD, NetBSD, linux all define MAXNAMLEN in dirent.h, but not DFly.
Is this an oversight or deliberate?

Deliberate. It doesn't make any sense and PATH_MAX or NAME_MAX should be
used instead. MAXNAMLEN is the historic limitation of FFS, for the
archive.

Yes, I see now.  This is how linux works around it:

#  ifdef NAME_MAX
#   define MAXNAMLEN    NAME_MAX
#  else
#   define MAXNAMLEN    255
#  endif
# endif
