No, we're not doing this kind of horror.
If _FORTIFY_SOURCE has problems with a simple "memcpy and add NUL",
then _FORTIFY_SOURCE needs to be fixed.
We don't replace a "buf[len] = 0" with strcpy(,""). Yes, compilers may
simplify it, but dammit, it's an unreadable incomprehensible mess to
humans, and humans still matter a LOT more.
