But you didn't define _STRICT_ANSI in the right place! Look at the compile 
line above and you don't see -D_STRICT_ANSI anywhere.

Look for the 

  DEFS = -Dfoo....

line in the Makefile and add the -D_STRICT_ANSI there.
  
  DEFS = -D_STRICT_ANSI -Dfoo....

and recompile.

The other solution is simply ifdef out 3 lines around the top of
tparam.c which redefines bcopy in terms of memcpy in your sources and
recompile.

btw, thanks for adding the compile lines above. No guesswork needed.
