I propose to import realpath(1) from FreeBSD.

It is a small program with less than 100 LOC.

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/tree/master/bin/realpath

The FreeBSD version works as-is (after patching __FBSDID and __dead2).

realpath(1) is a part of coreutils on Linux and sometimes programs use
it unconditionally, especially vlc in build rules. Avoiding coreutils
for just a single program is a win.
