Comment (by vladimir_prus):

 The second use of strndup in jam.c is for linux case, I don't think it has
 to change, especially given that readlink documentation does not state
 that it will zero-terminate the string. I'd be happy to accept a pull
 request for FreeBSD 7, assuming it includes a comment explaining why on
 FreeBSD, the string will be zero-terminated and therefore using strdup is
 safe. I don't have access to FreeBSD to try this myself.
