/* GNU has no arbitrary fixed limits on most of these things, so we

/* POSIX.1 requires that we define NGROUPS_MAX (though none of the others
   is required).  GNU allows any number of supplementary groups,
   dynamically allocated.  So we pick a number which seems vaguely
   suitable, and `sysconf' will return a number at least as large.  */

   name resolution.  When a further link is encountered, the call returns
   ELOOP.  This name is a GNU extension; POSIX.1 has no such limit, and BSD
   calls it MAXSYMLINKS in <sys/param.h>.  (We define the name under
   _BSD_SOURCE even without _GNU_SOURCE because our <sys/param.h> uses it
   to define MAXSYMLINKS.)  */
