That unfortunately doesn't help unless you're writing kernel modules.
That's an implementation inside the kernel only for code running inside
the kernel; it isn't available to normal programs.

I just provide replacement implementations of strlcpy and strlcat with
all of the software I write that ends up needing to use it.
