You haven't shown the command line of the compiler invocation. I bet this automake "hide the important details" feature did that to you. Of course IRIX 6.5 has 'strdup'. It's declared in <string.h> like this: #if (_XOPEN4UX || _XOPEN5) && _NO_ANSIMODE extern char *strdup(const char *); #endif Either you haven't included <string.h> in your compilation unit, or you've passed the equivalent of '-ansi' to the compiler, or there is some problem with gnulib's <string.h> override that we have not understood so far.
