strdup and pre-R5

strdup and pre-R5

[Batmensch]

I'm having a problem building OpenLdap 1.2 on a pre-R5 installation; the error
seems to be with strdup(); the make complains :

"In file included from args.c:22:
../../include/ac/string.h:49 macro `strdup' using without args"

I've been able to build it without error on both LinuxPPC 4 and Linux X86. 
Also the build of 1.0.2 that is included with the R5 distribution seems to work
properly.

Anything i can do about this?

BTW, I'm using the late February build of R5, and a 2.2.2 kernel I built from
CVS at Samba.

Thank you for the feedback.  I don't really have any development
background...how would you pass these options ?

This is a common problem with glibc-2.1, the str... functions are macros 
and so some silly sources break on "extern str...()" declarations.

Possible solutions:
- correct source
- compile with -D__NO_STRING_INLINES
- compile with -Os

Or, have configure or equivalent check the system headers for these decls.
