I can't see how the above is supported in the generic builtin.

Taking into account that it is the default on powerpc, I'm having hardtime with that.

Ok you are right, lets keep strlcpy() and ignore checkpatch complaints

Any feedback on the proposed changes I made on the 13th ? I know it is partly buggy but that was 
more for the principle. I can make clean working patch if it helps.
