basename and dirname as defined by SUS2 are rather ugly. You really don't
want to use them.

SUS2 has them in <libgen.h>.

Not if they are declared in <libgen.h>.

That would require a runtime check, which is bad for cross-compilation,
and the standard interface as defined by SUS2 is completely stupid anyway.
