Compiling bind on aix 3.2.5: no errors but some warnings

[Mark.Andrews at nominum.com]

	strdup() should be declared

		char * strdup(const char *);

	in <string.h>.

	If it is not declared in <string.h> you can declare it in
	src/port/aix32/include/port_after.h.

	So long as the executables link it should be ok.  If they don't
	link because strdup is missing there are defines that cause a
	strdup to be compiled.

	If you make changes please send them to bind-bugs at isc.org so that
	they can be merged back into the distribution.
