Windows prefixes all system functions with _, Linux does not.

strdup() is required by POSIX 2008 but not C99.  Windows libc has the 
notorious habit of providing only what is required by C89 (not even 
C99); which means MSVCRT might not have strdup by default.  However, I 
do know that mingw provides strdup(); maybe there's a difference between 
what mingw and native microsoft tools provide.

Libc is present on EVERY system, Linux or otherwise; otherwise, you 
wouldn't be able to run C programs.
