There's no point in defining this just to unset it later. I assume the implementation of strndup should've been in the #else block.

I ve tried on my old centos 7 instance (which genuinely is old enough for not having its glibc with strndup) and the build passes without error tough. So you re right @iluuu1994 here anyway, it should be in a else block but even simpler I think the whole can be removed, estrndup is used instead anyway it seems what do you think ?

Oh, it's not even used. In that case removing it is definitely preferable.

I just want to fix the compilation problem and make it pass. You have found the root problem. I tried removing the whole definition. Passed perfectly. Therefore, follow-up to your official handling of this issue.

In the case @midoks still want to pursue this PR, just realised this fileinfo extension relies on patch appliance. In that case, it needs to port changes in here as well.

Might even be better to provide the patch upstream; we could then update to the new libmagic version.
