i.e. str[n]casecmp_l should be defined under #if __POSIX_VISIBLE >= 200809
but not defined under #ifdef __GNU_VISIBLE in string*s*.h,
and defined under #ifdef __GNU_VISIBLE but not defined under
#if __POSIX_VISIBLE >= 200809 in *string*.h;
strerror_l should be under #if __POSIX_VISIBLE  >= 200809 in *string*.h,
or its #includes.
