Summary: Value assigned to readonly n_name field in auto_nlist.c

Initial Comment:
FreeBSD and certain NetBSD configurations make the n_name field const, s.t. any \
assignment beyond strcpy, sprintf, etc is made illegal by the compiler.

This patch works around the issue by using strlcpy (which appends a NUL character to \
the end of the string, but doesn't actually legally fix the issue if the compiler is \
made more strict).

The patch also fixes a compiler warning by using the %lx format qualifier as n_value \
has always been a long unsigned int on FreeBSD and NetBSD at least.

The FreeBSD commit that breaks this change is r208986 ( \
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/sys/nlist_aout.h?r1=208985&r2=208986& ).

Message:
isn't this a duplicate of the other auto_nlist fixes, just in a different
way?
