Newer versions of GCC perform static analysis to determine whether
string truncation is possible with functions such as snprintf and
provide a warning if truncation could occur.  The make for
jvmti_agent.c uses the compiler option that treats any compiler
warnings as compiler errors.  For GCC-8.1.1 in Fedora 28 this causes
the build to fail.  The return value of the snprint is now checked to
ensure snprintf produced a NULL-terminated string.  If the string for
the path is invalid, the code does attempt to use the string.
