If you mean something different from all of these, please clarify.
It seems likely that cfgfile is a per-user configuration file for an
application. If so, HOME=/ should be treated as a error.

Using a glibc extension, how about:
char *configfile;
asprintf (configfile, %s/%s, getenv (HOME), cfgfile);
aprintf auto-mallocs a buffer of the right size.
Be sure to free()!

The malloc() might fail and return NULL. You need to deal with

The size of cfgfile is what bothered me as soon as I saw it.Presumably
properly calculating the amount of storage to request takes care of that.
As I said: use snprintf or do something else. In fact, use snprintf
anyway.
Leading / is fine...

As I have a pretty clear view of my limitations as a C coder I thought
I'd take a look.

The length of HOME could increase between invocations.
