This is an unofficial patch.  It is *not* part of the official 
unofficial patchkit maintained by Jordan Hubbard (jkh@whisker.lotus.ie)
and previously by Nate Williams.

If you apply this patch you need your own backout plan.  Further you can
expect with reasonable certainty that this patch or one like it will come
out through the official unofficial patchkit.

If you need it now and can't wait, though, use it.  As always, we are not
responsible for whatever this patch does or fails to do to your system.

PATCH:          ELIMINATE DUPLICATE STRCMP DEF WITH "options DIAGNOSTIC"
AUTHOR:         Karl Lehenbauer (karl@NeoSoft.com)
DESCRIPTION:
        /sys/ddb/db_command.c has a definition of strcmp in it that will
cause a duplicate symbol error if you build a kernel configured with
"options DIAGNOSTIC".  This patch comments out the superfluous strcmp.
(The system will pick up the one in sys/kern/kern_subr.c instead.)
