+Subject: [PATCH] include: fix build failure with glibc 2.38+ _Generic memchr
+ macro
+
+Newer glibc defines memchr as a _Generic macro in <string.h>.
+When sntp's config.h lacks a HAVE_MEMCHR definition, the #ifndef guard
+in l_stdlib.h passes and the extern declaration of memchr is emitted.
+The preprocessor expands the memchr token into _Generic(...), producing:
+
+  l_stdlib.h:225:14: error: expected identifier or '(' before '_Generic'
+
+Guard the fallback declarations of memchr and strnlen with an additional
+!defined(memchr) / !defined(strnlen) check so they are skipped when the
+symbols are already provided as macros by the C library headers.
+
+Upstream-Status: Pending
