Thanks for the fast response.  Unfortunately in your haste you may
have missed the point of the e-mail.

Cygwin's /usr/include/string.h prototypes mempcpy.  If cygwin doesn't
provide mempcpy then both the <string.h> header is broken, and the
/usr/man/man3/mempcpy.3.gz man page should be removed.

By inappropriately declaring the function prototype incompatibly this
has broken libintl, and any other GNU package that depends upon it
including gcc.

I apologise for any inconvenience.

Roger
