Building 2a14 from CVS (linux/i386, egcs 1.1.1, glibc 2.0.106), the build failed with...   

gcc -g -O2 -DHYPERTEST -o htestrdmsg mbox2hypermail.c mbox2hypermail.c:33: macro `strcpy' used without args make[1]: *** [htestrdmsg] Error 1

The problem is that glibc 2.0.106 (and likely 2.1) defines strcpy as a macro through string.h, and the prototype is expanded.

Commenting out the prototype fixed the problem in my case. Could someone more knowledgeable suggest a more elegant solution?

Thanks,

Michael
