Maybe something like this for configure.ac:
AC_CHECK_LIB([c], [memchr],
[HAVE_MEMRCHR=YesPlease],
[HAVE_MEMRCHR=])
AC_SUBST(HAVE_MEMRCHR)
And documentation with the other HAVE_* variables at the top of the
Makefile?
Hmm, the BSDs and plan 9 have an memrchr() apparently. Any idea for
taking advantage of that (the makefile support part) that's less ugly
than this?
If we miss a platform, that's no big deal. The 1-char-at-a-time
loop is not so slow, and the "#define memrchr gitmemrchr" ensures
that it would not conflict with the libc version.
