I have asked this same question several times before, and have never gotten an adequate answer. Given that index() and rindex() are defined in funcs.c, what is the point of the "-Dindex=strchr" in the USG makefile? The code would compile and run just fine without it, and either way it uses the version in funcs.c rather than the (presumably faster) ones in the C library.
