Here's a patch that makes the current replacement functions more consistent
and usable. Rather than using a kind of autoconf mechanism, the
code continues to rely on detection by compiler macros in platform.h. If
this approach is deemed acceptable, I'll add a few new, similar functions
later.

Platform-specific checks in platform.h determine which of these
functions are needed.  These functions are generally common but
non-standard so cannot be relied upon to exist on all platforms.
