[ale] compile error: strlcpy defined differently in 2 different files, huh ?

In trying to compile the HP calculator simulator nonpareil-0.77, I get 
the error:

	error: conflicting type for 'strlcpy'



and strlcpy is defined in string.h & util.h......

	/usr/include/string.h
	
	as -> size_t strlcpy(char *, const char *, size_t);

whereas,
	
	util.h			; in the app source
	
	as -> char *strlcpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t l);



What is the resolution of this without either compromising the 
application of the /usr/include/string definition ?

Appreciatively,

Courtney
