Well, in this case, the most obvious way to arrange it is to make use of the
warnings that are already in ld, and to link against a library that only contains
ansi functions (assuming one is already built, my NetBSD is at home).

Agreed; there is no reason for memcpy() to be less efficient than bcopy(),
so it shouldn't recommend bcopy().  At most it should recommend memmove().

The Standard explicitly permits memcpy() of overlapping objects to screw up.
It is memmove() that must handle overlapping objects correctly.
