value is defined as 4096. That seems enough to me.
Another way to fix this is to add it in os_support.h. I didn't add it there
because ipfsgateway.c is currently the only cross-platform code that makes
use of this.

Lastly, I don't have an MSVC compiler and windows to test this on.
I hope someone else in that setup can verify that this does indeed fix the
ffmpeg master build?
