>Description:
<strings.h> is effectively an alias for <string.h>, which is not what the
P1003.1-2001 standard asks for (strings.h is an XSI extension).
>How-To-Repeat:

strings.h shouldn't define NULL, for example:

#include <strings.h>

int
main(void)
{
	int NULL;
	NULL = 0;
	return (0);
}

>Fix:

Here is a proper <strings.h> header:

/*
 * This file is in the public domain.
 *
 * $FreeBSD$
 */

#ifndef _STRINGS_H_
#define _STRINGS_H_

#include <sys/cdefs.h>
#include <machine/ansi.h>

#ifdef	_BSD_SIZE_T_
typedef	_BSD_SIZE_T_	size_t;
#undef	_BSD_SIZE_T_
#endif

__BEGIN_DECLS
int	 bcmp(const void *, const void *, size_t);
void	 bcopy(const void *, void *, size_t);
void	 bzero(void *, size_t);
int	 ffs(int);
char	*index(const char *, int);
char	*rindex(const char *, int);
int	 strcasecmp(const char *, const char *);
int	 strncasecmp(const char *, const char *, size_t);
__END_DECLS

/*
 * Previous versions of <strings.h> included <string.h>.
 */
#if !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE) || _XOPEN_SOURCE < 420L
#include <string.h>
#endif

#endif /* _STRINGS_H_ */
