Calling strdup inside a function works fine and only results in warnings. What doesn't work is referencing it at the file scope, which is what easy.c does:

I run autobuild with -std=iso9899:1990 (titled "…ANSI C89"), but they also set
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500. I don't remember precisely why I added the latter any
longer, but I think it was for exactly this reason, to ensure that strdup() is
made available since it's a requirement.
