It's not a kernel recompilation issue, as the kernel only ever deals with
userid numbers. It's strictly a utility recompilation issue, e.g. whichever
GETTYs you're using, LOGIN, USERADD, USERDEL, USERMOD, LINUXCONF, etc. As I've
never checked the source for these utilities with respect to this particular
issue, I have no idea whether or not any of them make assumptions regarding,
rather than ask the system for, the value of this limit. If you ever give it a
try, I'd be interested in the result.
