Hey, don't add die() calls, please.

Ditto.

And I think that this should go into tools/include/string.h and
tools/lib/string.c, no?

We should try to look at the kernel and try to follow naming, semantics,
etc as much as possible. The kernel doesn't have a astrcat, just
kasprintf() (that is in linux/kernel.h, perhaps because in userland
asprintf is in stdio.h, not in string.h) , wonder how something like
astrcat is done there... Doing some research now.
