Not for a compile-time constant (unless there is some new cpp feature in
gcc that I don't know about). GNU ld's symbol warnings provide a way to do
that at link time for symbols (glibc uses this e.g. for gets and ENOSYS stub
functions). But the common uses of MAXPATHLEN necessitate its being a cpp
macro so that it is constant at compile time for array sizes and the like,
and expandable by cpp for #if tests that examine its value (I don't know
how common those are in practice).
