Are the only function you need, the functions rindex and index?
If so, you can create your 'own' strings.h file, with the following
defintions:

#define index strchr
#define rindex strrchr

In the file /usr/lib/libBSD.a there is a file which contains 'index.o'.
This object file also contains defintions of the functions index and
rindex. To my knowledge there is no include file which defines 
index and rindex.
