+        * configure.in: Document --enable-gcc-warnings better.
+
         Use c_strcasecmp for ASCII case-insensitive comparison (Bug#11786).
         This is safer than strcasecmp, which has unspecified behavior
         outside the POSIX locale and in practice sometimes does not work
         in multibyte locales.  Similarly for c_strncasecmp and strncasecmp.
         * configure.in (strcasecmp, strncasecmp): Remove checks.
+
         * lib/c-ctype.c, lib/c-ctype.h, lib/c-strcase.h, lib/c-strcasecmp.c:
         * lib/c-strncasecmp.c: New files, taken from gnulib.
         * lib/gnulib.mk, m4/gnulib-comp.m4: Regenerate.
