There's nothing wrong with defining STANDARD_HEADERS, it's fully
compatible with DJGPP.

If you look at string.h, line 55, you will see that this line declares
a prototype for the function `index'.  I'm guessing that when
STANDARD_HEADERS is defined, termcap's sources also define `index' to
something else, and that something causes the compiler to barf.

If my guess is correct, the problem is not STANDARD_HEADERS, but the
definition of `index' in termcap.
