Knew there were good reasons I avoided git for a decade!
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(slang)
Developers never heard of KISS, unlike you folks at Cygwin ;^> and the folks at hg.

git show attached in case my patch email does not get thru or is scrambled some way,
so it does not apply with git am, after my screwing around with git and mailx.

    add string.h(strerror_l) as POSIX, change string.h(str[n]casecmp_l) from POSIX
    to GNU, change strings.h(str[n]casecmp_l) from GNU to POSIX, use _EXFUN
