Created attachment 6378 [details] Patch against current binutils CVS source I encountered some trouble building binutils 2.22 on AIX 4.3; specifically, str[n]casecmp() would come up as an implicitly-defined function, causing the build to fail due to -Werror. str[n]casecmp() is declared in <strings.h>. If you look in binutils/bfd/, the configure script invokes ACX_HEADER_STRING, and sysdep.h #includes both <string.h> and <strings.h> if STRING_WITH_STRINGS is defined. This is exactly what needs to happen to get str[n]casecmp() along with the usual string.h functions on many systems. The problem is, this does not currently happen in binutils/binutils/, binutils/gas/, binutils/ld/ and binutils/opcodes/. Thus there is breakage. The attached patch, against current CVS, is a first stab at addressing the issue.
