Most probably this has to do with the fact that strcpy is a builtin whereas strtod
is not.
Recent patches by Mark Mitchell:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-05/msg01766.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-05/msg01767.html
involved this part of the compiler.
It seems that something is still not completely sorted out, however:

Hope this helps,
