No, no, no. Wrong supposition. Those functions aren't supposed to be in
your system header files (if using Linux). They're supposed to be coming
from kdefakes. And that's in kdelibs/kdecore/fakes.c. If anything in
_BRANCH is using strl{cat,cpy}, then fakes.c rev. 1.11 from HEAD needs to
be backported into _BRANCH. Pronto.
