Read the part about >STRING-EXECUTE.  Now use EMIT, TYPE, and
>STRING-EXECUTE, instead of S+, C+, and <S S>, and you get:

: make-path ( dir-a dir-u file-a file-u -- path-a path-u )
  [: 2swap type [char] / emit type ;] >string-execute ;
\ or you can use    ." /"

: >z ( c-addr u -- c-addr )
  [: type 0 emit ;] >string-execute ;

One difference is that you have to FREE the result of >STRING-EXECUTE,
but then it is valid until you free it, not until the next
>STRING-EXECUTE (that would be another option, but I like that option
even less).
