Do you really need the special behavior of strdupa() versus the standard
strdup()? The only difference I can see from my local man page is that
strdupa() uses alloca() (allocates memory on the stack instead of the
heap), which shouldn't cause any functional differences except that you
must call free() on the pointer that strdup() returns (and not the one
strdupa() returns!).
