   [bug introduced in parted-2.4 with the addition of nilfs2 support]

   libparted: no longer aborts when reading a truncated GPT-formatted device

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] build: avoid new syntax-check failure

* cfg.mk: Exempt libparted/arch/beos.c from the PATH_MAX check.
I suspect that this is ok, because parted compiles only on systems
that define PATH_MAX to something reasonable.
