libchill/memmove.c

[Brad Lucier <lucier at math dot purdue dot edu>]

libchill/memove.c was recently changed to include <string.h>.

On alphaev6-unknown-linux-gnu (RedHat 6.0), memmove is already declared
in string.h, and the prototype is different from the code in memmove.c,
causing a bootstrap failure:

../../../libchill/memmove.c: In function `memmove':
../../../libchill/memmove.c:58: argument `n' doesn't match prototype
/usr/include/string.h:42: prototype declaration
make[2]: *** [memmove.o] Error 1

I would think that the existence of memmove should be tested in the
configure script, or at least the following change should be made to
memmove.c:
