Comment:

 When retiring snprintf, the related function strdup was also retired.
 However strdup is not in C99 but in BSD/POSIX and thus is not available by
 default. In C it is implicitly declared to return int which fails if the
 actual returned pointer is larger than 32 bits. The branch

 https://bitbucket.org/cactuscode/cactus/branch/rhaas%2Fcheck-for-PI-and-
 strdup

 provides configure checks for this routine.
