  dnl Persuade glibc <string.h> to declare stpncpy().
  AC_REQUIRE([AC_GNU_SOURCE])

  dnl Both glibc and AIX (4.3.3, 5.1) have an stpncpy() function
  dnl declared in <string.h>. Its side effects are the same as those
  dnl of strncpy():
  dnl      stpncpy (dest, src, n)
  dnl overwrites dest[0..n-1], min(strlen(src),n) bytes coming from src,
  dnl and the remaining bytes being NULs.  However, the return value is
  dnl   in glibc:   dest + min(strlen(src),n)
  dnl   in AIX:     dest + max(0,n-1)
  dnl Only the glibc return value is useful in practice.
