As I read the Opengroup document, Posix 200112L and Xopen 600 have  
been converged.  Older standards would not be the same and certainly  
older versions of Xopen might have strcasecmp and friends in  
string.h.  OTOH higher versions are undefined.  So it would not be  
right to assume the code should work under them.  That was my take  
but it may be quite wrong.

There never was a thread because nobody replied to the original  
message.  The extract listed the errors other than those due to the  
strings.h/string.h issue.

Let me poke about on this some more.  The missing declarations in  
fp.h are conditional on
#if (!defined(__MWERKS__) || !defined(__cmath__)) && (! 
TARGET_RT_MAC_MACHO || !defined(__MATH__))
So maybe cmath has been included but failed to provide all the  
required symbols.
