They are supposed to do precisely what strrchr() and strchr() do,
respectively.

You can solve the problem by adding this:

#define index	strchr
#define rindex	strrchr

to all the source files that use them (or to a global header file), or
by adding:

   -Dindex=strchr -Drindex=strrchr

to your CFLAGS environment variable, either directly or in the Makefile.
