Unfortunately this patch will #include _either_ <string.h> _OR_
<strings.h>.  There are some systems where you need BOTH.  There are
some where you must only include one.  Therefore, your patch doesn't
solve all the problems.

There needs to be two things done:

1) Reorder the includes (so <string.h> is before <strings.h>)
2) Keep the two separate (not an #if/#else)
3) Make a configure check to see whether to include string, strings, or both.
