[libc] Fix readlink tests on 32-bit systems

[mikhailramalho]

This patch changes the call sizeof() to call malloc with the actual lenght of the string to allocate space for buf.

The test case worked in 64-bit systems because the sizeof(CString) was big enough (19 bytes) to hold the contents of FILENAME, but in 32-bit systems sizeof(CString) is only 12 bytes long, causing a truncation of FILENAME when placing it in buf.

I also changed the vla to a malloc instead to silence a "variable length arrays are a C99 feature [-Wvla-extension]" warning.
