was the Blackfin changes related to the string updates lost or
something ?  the March 30 tree brought in these failures again ...

Sorry, you're right.  I dropped all the arch-specific stuff, I should
have kept that since it had your tested-by.

I'll send to Linus now.

[PATCH] blackfin: allow allow usage of string functions in linux/string.h

[Rusty Russell]

In introducing a trivial "strstarts()" function in linux/string.h, we
hit the following error on blackfin:

file included from include/linux/bitmap.h:9,
                 from include/linux/nodemask.h:90,
                 from include/linux/mmzone.h:17,
                 from include/linux/gfp.h:5,
                 from include/linux/kmod.h:23,
                 from include/linux/module.h:14,
                 from arch/blackfin/lib/strncmp.c:14:
include/linux/string.h: In function 'strstarts':
include/linux/string.h:124: error: implicit declaration of function 'strncmp'

Because when including asm/string.h from arch/blackfin/lib/strncmp.c,
we don't declare the string op we are about to define, and
linux/string.h barfs.

The fix is to declare the function whose definition we steal via the
#define trick.  I do this for all of them, so this won't bite us in
future.
