There is a SYMFUNC for memcpy which is guarded by

#if (defined(__powerpc__) && (defined(Lynx) || defined(linux))) ||
defined(__sparc__) || defined(__ia64__)
   /*
    * Some PPC, SPARC, and IA64 compilers generate calls to memcpy to handle
    * structure copies.  This causes a problem both here and in shared
    * libraries as there is no way to map the name of the call to the
    * correct function.
    */


Looks like something is missing. :)
