Unless I am missing something, I think this should work:

static inline char *xstrndup(const char *str, int len)
{
	char *result = strndup(str, len);
	if (result == NULL)
		die ("xstrndup(): out of memory");
	return result;
}

Hmm?

I can't speak for the original authors, but I imagine part of the
impetus was that strndup is a GNU-ism.

D'oh! I never thought this was a GNU-ism.
