Bruno's already mentioned the desire to manually define SIZE_MAX in those
two modules, so that he does NOT have to drag in the stdint replacement
header, so I think we're stuck keeping size_max for a while longer. But
yes, other modules should be able to use SIZE_MAX without worrying about
declaring it themselves.
SSIZE_MAX is a different beast; we don't have a limits.in.h replacement
yet. And since limits.h doesn't define any functions or types, our usual
trick of finding the right #include_next mechanism won't work. In this
particular case of rpl_linkat, the only systems with linkat are new enough
to already have SSIZE_MAX in <limits.h>; but for areadlink, there are
probably still systems which lack SSIZE_MAX but where areadlink still
needs to compile.
