There are three flavors of basename_r that I can find:

char *basename_r(const char *, char *); FreeBSD, implicit MAXPATHLEN
char *basename_r(const char *, char *, size_t); Android, size_t len, what if
                                                does not fit?
char *basename_r(const char *); allocates

I am not sure that adding one of the three is beneficial at this point, since
the world has not decided which way to go yet, and this is going to create
more autoconf mess.
