Probably the other way round as well - there is a macro in gcc code which
uses bcopy as a macro wrapper around memmove. This is activated when
HAVE_BCOPY is not defined. We'll just have to undef HAVE_BCOPY globally.
See:

/var/opt/spool/out/em/biswa/gcc/src/gcc-20001211>find . -type f -print |
xargs grep "define bcopy"
./gcc/expr.h:#define bcopy_libfunc      (libfunc_table[LTI_bcopy])
./gcc/system.h:#  define bcopy(src,dst,len) memmove((dst),(src),(len))
./gcc/config/i386/xm-beos.h:#define bcopy(s,d,n)        memmove((d),(s),(n))
./gcc/config/romp/xm-romp.h:#define bcopy(s,d,l) memcpy(d,s,l)
./gcc/config/rs6000/xm-beos.h:#define bcopy(s,d,n)      memmove((d),(s),(n))

bcopy is also implemented in C (this is not buggy) in libiberty and memove
is a wrapper around this one. See libiberty/bcopy.c libiberty/memmove.c

So we won't have a problem.
