How does its behavior differ?
What about having an autoconf test detect it, and then
compile the replacement function only if necessary?
This could use the same sort of mechanism as is used for many other
rpl_ replacement functions.

I'd rather not have to try to remember to use the gnu_ prefix
in gnu_stpncpy.
