Bug#380179: /usr/include/string.h: multiple definitions of bzero and bcopy

[Erwan David <erwan@rail.eu.org>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.3.6-15
Severity: normal

When trying to compile sdbm, I get the following error :

cc -O -DSDBM -DDUFF -DBSD42   -c -o sdbm.o sdbm.c
In file included from sdbm.c:27:
/usr/include/string.h:293: error: conflicting types for ‘bcopy’
/usr/include/string.h:40: error: previous declaration of ‘bcopy’ was here
/usr/include/string.h:296: error: conflicting types for ‘bzero’
/usr/include/string.h:59: error: previous declaration of ‘bzero’ was here

So, string.h does indeed define twice, with incompatible types the
functions bzero and bcopy
