if define MAXPATHLEN and PATH_MAX to some value, then bacula can be built
(without acl and xattr support).

I am not 100% sure about this, but it seems to me that MAXPATHLEN and PATH_MAX
are POSIX standard names.  Thus either HURD lacks them, which would be a bug in
HURD (or at least a POSIX incompatibility) or they are included in some header
file that Bacula does not know about.

I suggest you search your /usr/include files to see if and where these two
variables are defined. Then we can see what would be an appropriate solution.

No, this names are not POSIX. At least this is written in Hurd documentation for
porters:
