-: Could we - should we? - create an ifdef in string.h for the bcopy prototype?
-: This would break building the 2.03 library with GCC 3.x but would retain
-: current 2.03 behavior for old programs under GCC 2.x.

Don't know if this will help in resolving the issue, but recently
I encountered a problem with bcopy when compiling GNU termcap-1.3
under djgpp; in termcap.c you'll find:

/* Do this after the include, in case string.h prototypes bcopy.  */
#if (defined(HAVE_STRING_H) || defined(STDC_HEADERS)) && !defined(bcopy)
#define bcopy(s, d, n) memcpy ((d), (s), (n))
#endif

and after doing the same thing in tparam.c the package compiled fine.
