+
+ * relocatable.h (relocate): State whether result is freshly allocated
+ or not.
+ * relocatable.c (relocate): Return a freshly allocated string instead
+ of a pointer to a privately held string.
+ Reported by Sylvain Beucler <beuc@gnu.org>.

+
+ Improve memory cleanup in 'relocatable' module.
+ * relocatable.h (compute_curr_prefix): Change return type to 'char *'.
+ * relocatable.c (compute_curr_prefix): Change return type to 'char *'.
+ Free curr_installdir after use.
+ (relocate): Free curr_prefix_better after use.
