Adding a new function to memcpy.c

["Rodrigo Dominguez" <roddomi at hotmail dot com>]

Hi,

I am trying to create a new library function which I want to call memcpy_TC. 
I want memcpy_TC to be an exact clone of memcpy. I made the corresponding 
modifications to string/memcpy.c, string/string.h and include/string.h to 
include my new function. I also removed sysdeps/.../memcpy.S. However, after 
I build, memcpy_TC is defined as a local symbol in libc.so:

$nm ../glibc-obj/libc.so | grep memcpy
0006ebc0 t __GI_memcpy
0006ec10 t __GI_memcpy_TC
0006ebc0 T memcpy
0006ec10 t memcpy_TC

I tracked back the build process and I found that libc.so is built from 
libc_pic.os. What I find very strange is that memcpy_TC is defined as a 
global symbol in libc_pic.os. How can it change from global to local during 
the linking of libc.so? Am I missing something here?

Thank you,

Rodrigo
