You don't want /what/ being done to most of libc?  (No, really, I'm
not sure what you mean.)

Do you also want to `fix' the other ports that define their own strlcpy?

cyrus-imapd-2.0.17
cyrus-imapd-2.1.12
cyrus-imspd-v1.6a3
gnapster-1.5.0
hotwayd-0.51
isakmpd-20021118
openssh-3.5
snort-1.9.0
totd-1.3_3
xpilot-4.5.3

Probably others.

What about the hundreds of other ports that also define symbols that
we use from within libc?

Cheers,
