Looks like Configure is confused:

	Using <string.h> instead of <strings.h>.
 
	Figuring out the flag used by open() for non-blocking I/O...
 
	Seems like we can use O_NONBLOCK.
 
	Let's see what value errno gets from read() on a O_NONBLOCK file...
	try.c:17: strings.h: No such file or directory
	gcc: Internal compiler error: program cpp got fatal signal 33
	I can't compile the test program--assuming errno EAGAIN will do.

It just decided to prefer <string.h>, so why does it try to use <strings.h> for
the O_NONBLOCK test?
