[Bug libc/11057] New: linux, pathconf(_PC_LINX_MAX)

pathconf(_PC_LINX_MAX) returns an incorrect value.
Its current implementation seems to return LINUX_LINK_MAX (127),
except some FS whose LINK_MAX values are defined (copied) in
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/linux_fsinfo.h.
I guess the reason of current implementaion is the lack of linux kernel
interface, ie. there is no method to get the value from linux.
I've found an used member in struct statfs, named f_spare,
and pathconf(_PC_LINK_MAX) always issues statfs(2).
If linux kernel puts the correct value into f_spare[0] for instance,
and pathconf(3) returns the value from f_spare, then will the problem solved?
In other words, will you support f_spare if linux kernel changes?
