Fair enough.

Looking at the existing readlink use in port/exec.c, it strikes me that
another thing you'd better do is include a check for buffer overrun,
ie the test needs to be more like

        rllen = readlink(fname, link_buf, sizeof(link_buf));
        if (rllen < 0 || rllen >= sizeof(link_buf))
            ... fail ...

Also, you're assuming that the result is already null-terminated,
which is incorrect.
