For a start that would be fine.  By rebuilding you get static buffers
of the new PATH_MAX size.  As long as which checks if the path length
doesn't exceed the buffer size, it should be safe to use.  It wouldn't
work for paths > 4K, but that's a far way off.  Just check if it uses
strlen() > PATH_MAX or strncpy(a,b,PATH_MAX) sort of expressions.
