+Subject: [PATCH] lib: fix multiple strlcpy definition
+
+Some C libraries, like uClibc and musl, provide BSD compatible
+strlcpy(). Add check_strlcpy() to configure, and avoid defining strlcpy
+and strlcat when the C library provides them.
+
+This fixes the following static link error:
+
+.../sysroot/usr/lib/libc.a(strlcpy.os): In function `strlcpy':
+strlcpy.c:(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `strlcpy'
+../lib/libutil.a(utils.o):utils.c:(.text+0x1ddc): first defined here
+collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
+
+[baruch: backported from upstream submission to 4.13]
