Mike,
I'm not using u-boot. You meant to say "these functions
exist based purely on how you've configured uClibc", right? I just did a quick
look into the source last night, and most of the
architecture-specific areas of uClibc have definitions bcopy and bzero
(x86_64 had them, but not i386). But it was late last night when I
discovered this, so I didn't really do a very thorough analysis... it
may actually just be a uClibc configuration problem (I am just using the
default configuration).
I hit 3 utilities in the /user area that use the deprecated functions (bash,
boa, and a 3rd one that I don't
remember). Maybe I just got unlucky and happen to have a system that
uses a lot of the offenders. I'll do a find when I get home tonight to see
how many there actually are.

as David said, if they dont exist, it's a bug in your configuration. these
functions exist based purely on how you've configured u-boot.

so do it. it's trivial to fix this with `sed`.

are you sure about that ? i rarely run into things using these functions
anymore.
