Hi Emmanuel,
correct me if i am wrong, but glibc 2.x defines a lot of string functions (*str*) with hand tuned macros and *a lot* of older source decided to not use headers when all they wanted was one function definition. often all that needs be done is the commenting out of the offending definition. this also appears with rogue definitions of sys_error not being as generous with const as the recent glibc.
HTH
BTW, there exists, i think, a macro to turn off these inline macros. or you could edit the code to use..
strdup (...
instead of
strdup(...
(though i might have that backwards... might enfoce macros...)
gee, cost analysis is a rare thing it seems...
