Hi Reuben,

> NAME_MAX is defined in limits.h.

No. POSIX [1] specifies that it may be omitted from <limits.h>, and
that pathconf (_PC_NAME_MAX) is the right way to access the maximum
length of a file name component. [2]

> So my question is: is there something gnulib can/should do here?

I don't see anything Gnulib should do here.
