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.
