+Subject: [PATCH] Use portable implementation for basename API
+
+musl has removed the non-prototype declaration of basename from
+string.h [1] which now results in build errors with clang-17+ compiler
+
+Implement GNU basename behavior using strchr which is portable across libcs
+
+Fixes
+../git/tools/kmod.c:71:19: error: call to undeclared function 'basename'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit function declarations [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
+71 | "Commands:\n", basename(argv[0]));
