Summary:                    [PORTABILITY] GNU libc asprintf dependency
Description: 
libbb/bb_asprintf.c fails to compile without GNU vasprintf. A simple
fallback is to first call snprintf with NULL string argument to get the
length (excluding terminator byte), malloc, then call snprintf again with
the new buffer.
