Nice - you caught one case that my review did not ("/" as the entire path).

Delete these two lines; since cleanpath was created by strdup(), they
are redundant assignments.

That doesn't simplify "./a" to "a", nor "b/." to "b"

This incorrectly collapses plain "//" to "/".

Maybe a better approach is this pseudo-code:

if (2 leading slashes) {
  advance 2
  if (end) return
} else if (leading slash)
  advance 1
do {
  advance past all slashes - they are redundant from previous round
  if (./ or .-end) advance 1 and continue
  copy all non-slashes
  copy one slash
} while (!end)
if (trailing slash)
  back up 1
