The GNU people seem to forget <string.h> ... often. You'd think they'd
make sure prototypes are always in scope... oh well.
Anyhow, someone will check in a fix for gawk's getopt soon, I'm sure.
Regarding subr_extent.c... there is a regression test for it in
src/regress, and you'll note that the file itself is set up to build
in a userland testing harness.
