Hi Robert,
It's not bothering me at all, no problem :-)
The patch you sent almost works, there was just a missing #include limits.h
(for PATH_MAX). I attach a new version of the patch with this include.
I looked at the rest of the code, and

Summary: [util/misc.c] realpath(path, NULL) leads to

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #28422 (project grub):
This patch is inappropriate. It introduces arbitrary limit on pathlen even on
platforms that aren't limited in this way (e.g. GNU/Hurd). If you make a patch
with something like:
#ifdef __NetBSD__
p = xmalloc (PATH_MAX);
realpath (path, p);
#else
p
Follow-up Comment #2, bug #28422 (project grub):
Grégorie, could you please check if linking grub-mkrelpath with
canonicalize-lgpl.c from Gnulib resolves your problem?
If so, I'll import it. It basically boils down to the same kludge, but I'd
rather have it in external Gnulib code than in GRUB
Follow-up Comment #4, bug #28422 (project grub):
Hi Grégoire,
Sorry to bother you, but after discussing this with Vladimir and thinking a
bit more about it, I think we can live with an ifdef in our code if it's
confined to util/misc.c and reasonably platform-independant.
Please let me know if
