I noticed that...  I looked at the gcc manpage, and saw
       -fno-builtin
              Don't recognize built-in functions that do not  be-
              gin  with  two leading underscores.  Currently, the
              functions affected include _exit, abort, abs, allo-
              ca,  cos,  exit,  fabs,  labs, memcmp, memcpy, sin,
              sqrt, strcmp, strcpy, and strlen.

              The `-ansi' option prevents alloca and  _exit  from
              being builtin functions.
