That will result in a misc.o not suitable for next build of john - or if misc.o already existed, it might not be built with -D_JOHN_MISC_NO_LOG. A better alternative is to make gpg2john a symlink to john just like many others.

Not sure I understand. Maybe you should just add a separate get_basename.cpp file then. Ideally we should port all C++ files to C.

    strnzcpy(retmem, base, retsize < 256 ? retsize : 256);

The ternary is not needed. Just use

    strnzcpy(retmem, base, sizeof(retmem));
