setup.c: do not feed NULL to "%.*s" even with precision 0
A recent update 75faa45a (replace trivial malloc + sprintf / strcpy calls with xstrfmt, 2015-09-24) rewrote prepare an empty buffer if (len) append the first len bytes of "prefix" to the buffer append "path" to the buffer that computed "path", optionally prefixed by "prefix", into xstrfmt("%.*s%s", len, prefix, path); However, passing a NULL pointer to the printf(3) family of functions to format it with %s conversion, even with the precision set to 0, i.e. xstrfmt("%.*s", 0, NULL) yields undefined results, at least on some platforms. Avoid this problem by substituting prefix with "" when len==0, as prefix can legally be NULL in that case. This would mimick the intent of the original code better. Reported-by: Tom G.
