I don't know what I was thinking when I first reported this.  Maybe I
didn't notice the difference between string and strings right away and
got the wrong idea.  Anyway, you're right, invalid bug, sorry about
that.

** Changed in: manpages (Ubuntu)

Title:
  ffsl(3) not in strings.h like manpage says

Status in “manpages” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: manpages

  ffs/ffsl/ffsll(3) says all three bit-scan functions are available
  after defining _GNU_SOURCE and including strings.h.  However, only
  POSIX ffs(int) is in strings.h.  only string.h defines the GNU
  extension ffsl(long) and ffsll(long long).

   So either fix the manpage or the header, please.
