[bug-mailutils] Build failure...

[Jordi Mallach]

 ... on the Hurd. :)

I've been biting my tongue about this for months, but hey, this is a GNU
package, so wouldn't it be awesome if it actually compiled on GNU? :)

Sergey, I bet most of these problems are trivial to fix, if you ever have
a moment for this kind of stuff.

The Hurd team actively promotes fixes that use dynamic memory allocation,
instead of just declaring the macros with a fixed size.

MAXHOSTNAMELEN is defined in various places in the source (with different
values), but not in mailbox/mutil.c.

A quick grep also reveals one use of termio.h (mail/mailline.c) that could
be problematic.

This is an example build failure, right at the beginning of the build:

Jordi, slightly bored today. :)
