strstr, strcasestr: replace on platforms with broken memchr * modules/strstr: Split into... * modules/strstr-simple: ...new module that does not care about performance, but does care about glibc bug. * m4/strstr.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRSTR): Split... (gl_FUNC_STRSTR_SIMPLE): ...into new macro, which replaces strstr if platform memchr is broken, per Debian bug 521737. * m4/strcasestr.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRCASESTR_SIMPLE): React to broken memchr. * m4/memchr.m4 (gl_FUNC_MEMCHR): Only expand once. * doc/posix-functions/strstr.texi (strstr): Document the fix. * doc/glibc-functions/strcasestr.texi (strcasestr): Likewise. * modules/mountlist (Depends-on): Add strstr-simple. * modules/gen-uni-tables (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/argz (Depends-on): Add strstr.
