thanks, this and
	http://www.gnu.org/s/hello/manual/gnulib/sprintf.html
would suggest sprintf wrt OS compatibility is OK but snprintf is not and
therefore this [patch 1/3] is the best + compatible variant.

Still I no longer mind much, I am going to drop this 3-part series (unless
discussed otherwise) and return back to the former form with incompatible/new
SVR4 protocol and separate protocol producer/consumer:
	Re: [patch 3/3] Implement qXfer:libraries for Linux/gdbserver #2
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-10/msg00175.html

This variant has no technical advantages, the code is just more tricky.


Thanks,
Jan
