>Description:

#include <string.h>
leads to
#include <strings.h>
which then does
#include <stdint.h>

polluting the namespace of string.h in violation of applicable standards.

This screws up builds of 3rd-party software.

>How-To-Repeat:

#include <string.h>

>Fix:

Either remove <strings.h> from <string.h>, which is probably not a
viable proposition, or fix <strings.h> not to spew into the namespace.
