Testing against INT_MAX seems like a type pun, or something. Maybe use
MaxAllocSize instead?

if (xfrmlen >= MaxAllocSize)
return val;

Also, since as you note returning (size_t) -1 is not at all standard,
it would be helpful to readers to note that that's what Windows does
on failure and that's what you're testing for. In fact you could
make a good case that the test should be just

if (xfrmlen == (size_t) -1)
return val;
