I'm worried about symbol clashes here, since technically '_' isn't our
namespace. Please pick a name similar to what we use elsewhere for
comparison callbacks, such as _alpm_str_cmp or _alpm_files_cmp.

This seems very prone to leakage. Why not just allocate it on the stack?

STRDUP macro?

STRDUP...

STRDUP... I'm done pointing these out, but there's more.

This seems really ugly. Can't the second half of the exit condition be
moved into the body of the loop?

Are you sure this never copies more than PATH_MAX bytes into filename_r?
There's more of these buffer overflow concerns that flat out aren't
handled.

Style nit -- add space around the '-', and a space before the close of
the comment. I'm not really sure how this does what the comment says.

Just use CALLOC instead of MALLOC+memset

Why not use direct assignment or memcpy here?

Wrap at 80 columns, please.
