That version is marked stable so you must be very special. Your paludis info does not include USE flag usage for this package, so it would help if you posted that too.

On further examination, it might not be cups' fault. It seems that strcmp() is in fact used all over the place in that file. The only place it does have a problem is with that one cast on line 80. Redefining strcmp to: extern int strcmp(char*s1,char*s2); before main() in testarray.c fixes the compilation problem. Maybe the problem is not in cups itself but in the string.h header?

Does it still fail for you with more recent cups versions?
As there is no reply for test request just closing it as fixed since i am unable to reproduce it.
