Bug description

Full_Name: Geert Vernaeve
Version: 0.75
OS: Mandrake, Debian
Submission from: ncgent02.telenet-ops.be (213.224.83.78)

Attempts to compile contrib/libunix under Linux Mandrake (my system is a
8.0/8.1/9.0 or something mix) and Debian 3.0 fail when compiling accept.c,
complaining about conflicting declarations for "memmove" in string.h. The cause
is that src/runtime/config.h #define's bcopy() as memmove() and then the system
include file "string.h" contains a prototype for bcopy(), which is expanded
erroneously to memmove().

A quick fix is to comment out the line "#define bcopy(src,dst,len) memmove(...)"
in config.h (the line just after "#ifdef HAS_MEMMOVE"). A cleaner fix is
probably cleaning up the Makefile but we'll leave that as an exercise for the
interested reader :-)
