So I can take your version [*1*], drop this bit from the log:
This seems to be caused by a change to the system headers which
results in the _XOPEN_SOURCE macro now having prioity over the
_GNU_SOURCE and _BSD_SOURCE macros (they are simply ignored).
This in turn leads to the declarations of the above functions
to be suppressed.
and replace it with something like:
<string.h> on Cygwin used to always declare the above functions,
but a recent version of it no longer make them visible when
_XOPEN_SOURCE is set (even if _GNU_SOURCE and _BSD_SOURCE is
set).
and keep the rest, I think.
Thanks for digging this thoroughly.
