ok i'll add your aboves quote to an empty strings.h

actually checking, i find that in mdadm.h :-P

#ifdef __dietlibc__
#include       <strings.h>
#endif

better i'll punch lvm2, busybox and toybox upstream directly.

ok

that directly leads to the next real trouble: ferror(3)
due to empty _IO_file FILE; hack i don't see how it could be
implemented!?!

feof should be possilbe with something along
if (fgetc(stream) == EOF)
	return EOF;

ferror(3) is used in busybox, lvm2, mdadm, toybox..
