If you had used the bsdcc from the bsdport document in /usr/lpp/bos,
you wouldn't have had to go through this.

You'll notice that strcpy and strcmp are defined as macros in
/usr/include/string.h, so you'll have to either can the redeclaration
or use -U__STR__ as a compiler undefine. Then again bsdcc would have
taken care of this for you. Another hint make sure that libcurses.a is
the only display library linked in...
