Hi!
This package has been failing to build for a while on GNU/Hurd, due to
the assumption that PATH_MAX is defined on all systems, which is not
the case on GNU/Hurd as it tries to impose no arbitrary limits
gratuitously.
I've prepared a patch fixing this and submitted that upstream, and
adapted that for the current version in Debian, which I'm attaching.
Thanks,
Guillem

Subject: [PATCH] Do not assume PATH_MAX is defined
Origin: vendor
Forwarded: https://github.com/gwsw/less/pull/469
On systems such as GNU/Hurd, PATH_MAX is not defined, because the system
intends to impose no arbitrary limits. In other systems though it might
be defined but to a very large value.
We can use realpath() with its POSIX.1-2008 semantics, where passing a
NULL argument will make it allocate the destination buffer, but not all
systems support these semantics yet.
For now, instead of complicating the code to cope with realpath()
limitations on some systems, we simply handle the case where PATH_MAX
is not defined, where realpath() should always support these semantics.
