trouble compiling fvwm in R5: strcmp and friends

[R Shapiro]

When compiling fvwm under R5, I'm getting errors wherever it uses the
basic string comparison functions: strcmp, strncmp, strcasecmp, etc.
For instance, compiling fvwm/fvwm.c dies as follows:

fvwm.c: In function `main':
fvwm.c:359: `_' undeclared (first use in this function)
fvwm.c:359: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
fvwm.c:359: for each function it appears in.)
fvwm.c:359: parse error before `const'
fvwm.c:359: parse error before `)'


The line in question is 

    if (strncasecmp(argv[i],"-debug",6)==0)

A similar problem occurs later in a reference to strcmp.

/usr/include/string.h looks perfectly normal, and other referenced
functions in string.h (eg strstr) don't cause any problem.

What's going on here? 

This is brand new by-the-book R5 installation.
