I'll have to check if Nvidia's license allows us to fix bugs in their
headers. ;)

Here we have a minimal reproducer from the Ubuntu bug [1]:

$ echo '#include <stdio.h>' > dummy.cpp
$ g++ -c -O2 dummy.cpp
$ cp dummy.cpp dummy.cu
$ nvcc -c -O2 dummy.cu
/usr/include/string.h: In function ‘void* __mempcpy_inline(void*,
const void*, size_t)’:
/usr/include/string.h:652:42: error: ‘memcpy’ was not declared in this scope
   return (char *) memcpy (__dest, __src, __n) + __n;

Again, defining _FORCE_INLINES works around the problem:
$ nvcc -c -O2 -D_FORCE_INLINES dummy.cu
