Just do an
#include "strdup.h"
and report it to us if it leads to link errors. We are willing to put
extern "C" markers in gnulib's header files, since it's only a small effort
to do so.
It is not safe to write
extern "C" {
#include "strdup.h"
}
because you don't know which other headers strdup.h may include; some of
them may contain C++-only declarations and fail to compile if included this
way.
