So, either:

    const char *correct_strstr(const char *s1, const char *s2)
    {
        return strstr(s1, s2);
    }

or:

    char *correct_strstr(char *s1, const char *s2)
    {
        return strstr(s1, s2);
    }

Is that right?  Both of those have problems.  The first because you
can't manipulate the result even if the strings you gave from the
start are non-const, and the second because you can't give it a 'const
char *' as first argument...
