Until yesterday, I would have said that _all_ systems except solaris7
use const char* ;) I have added some code in configure which is
supposed to detect this situation, although I can't test it, obviously.

And what about prototyping bzero ourselves? How unportable would that
be? Hmm...
BTRW, do you get an error or a warning?

Of course they are. Keep them coming.
