I don't believe that this is as system-specific as you would would like to
believe.  I have not yet encountered a C library that didn't include these
two _subroutines_ regardless of operating system.  Note that they are _not_
operating system calls, but rather simple routines that search and insert from
a list.  If your library doesn't have 'em, I would consider it broken.
