Original patch lacked adding appropriate test to configure,
i.e. something like below to configure.ac

 #
 # Define NO_STRCHRNUL if you don't have strchrnul.
 AC_CHECK_FUNC(strchrnul,
 [NO_STRCHRNUL=],
 [NO_STRCHRNUL=YesPlease])
 AC_SUBST(NO_STRCHRNUL)
 
and the following line to config.mak.in

 NO_STRCHRNUL=@NO_STRCHRNUL@

Wouldn't it be better to add ./configure check instead? See above.

Although I guess that people using ./configure to set compilation
options (to generate config.mak.autogen) are minority...

This is good solution, although I'm not sure about the check itself.
What if somebody has libc which is not glibc, but it does have
strchrnul?

This IMHO should go to separate patch.
