Yes, that's correct. This doesn't remove str{cat,cpy} from libc
(haha, I wish that were possible), only removes it from the list
of things that are to be copied from libc to libkern.
However, seeing as things are maintained separately (for good
reasons), perhaps copy-to-libkern itself should just be removed
since it's basically pointless at this point and hasn't been
used for about a decade.
