We'd actually like also to know whether the target provides __stpcpy in
libc since ISO C programs could redefine stpcpy.
I'd like a general mechanism by which a libc header file can be included
at the start of all compilations if it exists (and silently ignored if it
doesn't), to get the definition of __STDC_ISO_10646__ (which describes
libc features but must be available for the whole translation unit) right.
Perhaps such a header could also contain pragmas like "#pragma GCC
libc_provides stpcpy".
(Such a header of course must _only_ have such macros and pragmas - it
can't include any other glibc headers that test feature test macros, as
those may be defined in the source file at any point before it includes
standard headers.)
