Right.

GNU ChangeLogs are to describe what is changed, not why, so I'd use
something like: »Replace xsnprintf usage with fixed-size buffers with
xstrprintf«.

»char *buf«, as you already figured out.

The original code does not put double-quotes around the (former)
arch_path argument to »set solib-absolute-prefix«.  Do we have to be
concerned here about quoting/path names containing double-quotes et al.?
