Fair enough.
Looking at the existing readlink use in port/exec.c, it strikes me that
another thing you'd better do is include a check for buffer overrun,
ie the test needs to be more like
rllen = readlink(fname, link_buf, sizeof(link_buf));
if (rllen < 0 || rllen >= sizeof(link_buf))
... fail ...
Also, you're assuming that the result is already null-terminated,
which is incorrect.
