[bug-patch] strndup/strnlen problems with 2.6.1

[Jim Reid]

I've found a solution to the strndup/strnlen problems. The code in gl/ 
lib/strndup.c seems remarkably clumsy because the call to strnlen() is  
pointless. strndup is already defining the upper bound on the memory  
allocation, so you might as well just use that. The declaration of  
strnlen() also needs to be commented out.

char *
strndup (char const *s, size_t n)
{
  /* size_t len = strnlen (s, n);*/
  size_t len = n;
  char *new = malloc (len + 1);

  if (new == NULL)
    return NULL;

  new[len] = '\0';
  return memcpy (new, s, len);
}

BTW, the Makefile reference to a variable called transform does  
nothing apart from a no-op invocation of sed.
