I'm afraid not, as the code shows below, we should strlen()
each component of the cmd:

     sprintf(cmd, "%s %s%s -f %s %s %s %s %s",
         make,
         o->install ? "INSTALLTO=" : "",
         o->install ? o->install    : "",
         o->makeFile,
         o->clean   ? "clean"      : "",
         o->rebuild ? "rebuild"    : "",
         o->install ? "install"    : "",
         o->makeArgs);

and this is only the part for linux os, it still has similar parts for
U_WINDOWS and OS400 (the component are different), if we strlen() each
one of them, that would make it complicated. the icu pkg does use many
malloc() in the other part of code, but it uses the char array here,
I think that maybe this is the reason.
