The symbol _POSIX_PATH_MAX should be defined by the header-file
<limits.h>.  Look at that file and any files that it includes to
discover where _POSIX_PATH_MAX is defined.  What other macros
must be defined in order to have _POSIX_PATH_MAX defined?  Try
adding those macro definitions to the CPPFLAGS variable before
executing the "configure" script.

That is to be expected because "config.log" contains output
from running tests on the environment (some tests succeed
and some fail).

That's a good command-line.  SUSE must have changed something in
the development environment from the original Linux.
