This patch does fix build bug on m68k wich does not have strncat in straight way.
What is more important - my previous patch
commit e662e1cfd434aa234b72fbc781f1d70211cb785b
Author: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com>

init: don't lose initcall return values
has introduced potential buffer overflow by wrong calculation
of string accumulator size.
Many thanks Andreas Schwab and Geert Uytterhoeven for helping
to catch and fix the bug.
