Re: PATCH: add missing __strdup decl to include/string.h

I should add that this isn't simply a matter of compile-time warnings.
Without the decl, gcc has no way of knowing that __strdup has pointers
in its value+args signature, and so doesn't know to prepend "__BP_" to
its ASSEMBLER_NAME, so it generates calls to unbounded __strdup which
go undefined at link time.
