Hi,

currently libiberty will compile strncmp while building a cross compiler.  This is due to the fact that the test for strncmp is a TRY_RUN test.

My issue is that VMS doesn't like a redefinition of a standard function, because it always uses a shared library for C and doesn't support symbol preemption.

I'd like to reverse the decision for strncmp in cross-case.  I understand that there is no ideal solution as both decision may fail on different setup.  But:
* according to the comment, the test was made for SunOS4 (at least), which is not anymore supported by gcc
* defining a standard ANSI-C function in user code is not valid (as far as I understand from the standard)

Ok for trunk ?

Tristan.
