I kindof expected a reply like this. In general I don't disagree.
This function is available on many systems for decades.
On some systems like OpenBSD the -D_GNU_SOURCE is not needed.
It's man page says:
"HISTORY
The strstr() function first appeared in 4.3BSD-Reno. The strcasestr()
function appeared in glibc 2.1, was reimplemented for FreeBSD 4.5 and
ported to OpenBSD 3.8."
glibc 2.1 was released in 1999:

OpenBSD 3.8 was released in 2005.
So whats the issue?
