Patch against current binutils CVS source

I encountered some trouble building binutils 2.22 on AIX 4.3; specifically,
str[n]casecmp() would come up as an implicitly-defined function, causing the
build to fail due to -Werror.

str[n]casecmp() is declared in <strings.h>. If you look in binutils/bfd/, the
configure script invokes ACX_HEADER_STRING, and sysdep.h #includes both
<string.h> and <strings.h> if STRING_WITH_STRINGS is defined. This is exactly
what needs to happen to get str[n]casecmp() along with the usual string.h
functions on many systems.

The problem is, this does not currently happen in binutils/binutils/,
binutils/gas/, binutils/ld/ and binutils/opcodes/. Thus there is breakage.

The attached patch, against current CVS, is a first stab at addressing the
issue.
