For 2.x, unlimited path lengths were apparently introduced in issue 2722. This strategy does not work on Solaris and OpenBSD (issue 9185). FreeBSD also seems to support arbitrarily long paths. I would be somewhat surprised though if anyone used them in practice. APUE (second edition) uses PATH_MAX if it's available in limits.h.
