I've had trouble with a number of functions that should be defined in 
string.h: strncpy, bcopy and bcopy

For all of these the compiler complains they haven't been defined. I 
checked the header file and they are indeed there and I found them to be 
encapsulated in some macro. Could someone explain what I have to do? Thanks.

Also, it may be somewhat related to this, mostly ridiculous, thread on 
"why cygwin.dll" but I've noticed the resulting executables are enormous. 
I am including debugging information but still a file that compiled with 
cygnus/g++ takes around 1Mb takes only 300Kb on my unix machines 
(HP-UX/g++). That's less than a third!!
