Sorry, this will not work (generally); it will alter the behaviour for Linux:

libgen.h:

/* Return final component of PATH.

   This is the weird XPG version of this function.  It sometimes will
   modify its argument.  Therefore we normally use the GNU version (in
   <string.h>) and only if this header is included make the XPG
   version available under the real name.  */
extern char *__xpg_basename (char *__path) __THROW;
#define basename        __xpg_basename

====

Together with the GCC configuration side (PR119250).

It looks like we will need to do something target-specific:

 1 maybe for those targets that want POSIX behaviour, they opt in and we
arrange this in the configure (but we need to deal with the consumer too).
 2 maybe we need to implement `dirname` in libiberty and then poison libgen.h
somehow in GCC

As a stand-alone library perhaps 1 makes most sense.
