SunOS 4.1.4 for one. Anyhow, either you need to make it work in that
sort of situation or declare that a standard C library is required
(which would simplify a fair amount of code).

If you revert the change in configure.in it will work. I don't
understand the reason for the change and, as I said before, mapping
bcopy to memcpy is dubious.

Yes, but they're declared in memory.h. I previously cleaned up the
treatment of bcopy & al so that the configuration should have worked
generally.
