I don't see any such exceptions from the rule here (now using GCC 9.2.0,
on MSys2+MinGW64).

I onlyl see the warning issued where the length argument to strncat() is
a variation of strlen(src).

All but one are string literals with their strlen()s spelled out as
constants.  The remaining one is just a trivial variation of pattern
using a variable string:

          size_t length = strlen (ptr);
          strncat (*description, ptr, length);
