[PATCH v2 1/2] libc: Make string.h POSIX.1-2024 compliant

Fri Nov 14 23:26:24 GMT 2025


POSIX.1-2024 added strlcpy, strlcat, and memmem to strings.h. Previously
these functions were only available as parts of BSD or GNU extensions.

Fix the header so that the symbol are visible for either the right
extensions, or for POSIX.1-2024.
