the compiler is not linking in anything from the libc, but it has builtin
functions for some very common functions. when you initialize an
array (or any other datastructure) the compiler needs to have a bcopy or
memcopy. So if the
compiler already has a target-optimized memcpy, why not use it for
libc memcpy calls as well?
if you do not like this behaviour, turn it off using -fno-builtin
-fno-builtin
Don't recognize built-in functions that do not be-
gin with two leading underscores. Currently, the
functions affected include _exit, abort, abs, allo-
ca, cos, exit, fabs, labs, memcmp, memcpy, sin,
sqrt, strcmp, strcpy, and strlen.
The `-ansi' option prevents alloca and _exit from
being builtin functions.
