If feature test macros are used, they have to appear before any
headers are included (at the top of the file). But you can't call
GNU-namespace functions from a standard-namespace function (glob)
anyway. Instead just use __strchrnul if you need it; it's available
(musl-internal only) without any special FTMs.

I like that you've put this in a separate function.

I still don't see any justification for violating the semantics of ~
because the program is suid.

Also, issetugid isn't in the namespace we can use here. Rather than
poking directly at libc.secure, if we needed this I think it would be
better to make a namespace-protected alias, but I don't think it's the
right behavior anyway.

Same here. I'm not actually sure what should happen if $HOME is unset,
but it's probably whatever the Shell Command Language specification
says.

The man page says:

    If the username is invalid, or the home directory cannot be
    determined, then no substitution is performed.

and the glibc manual says:

    If the user name is not valid or the home directory cannot be
    determined for some reason the pattern is left untouched and
    itself used as the result

So I think this should not be an error. I'm not entirely clear if it's
supposed to suppress all further glob expansion and just return a
single literal result, or treat "~" or "~nosuchuser" as a literal
component and search it.

This could be strnlen+memmove, but perhaps just open coding it like
you've done is simpler and lighter.

Off-by-one. If it stopped due to reaching the limit in the above loop,
you'll have equality not greater-than, then overflow below. Perhaps
strnlen+memmove would be easier to ensure the safety of.

GLOB_NOSPACE is for allocation errors. This is a no-match case, since
there can be no matches for a pattern PATH_MAX or longer.

This part looks good, but may need minor rework depending on how the
nonexistent user case is supposed to behave.
