It clearly invents strcpy, having never been referenced in the
source.

The asm code you sent does _not_ call a global strcpy function.
It calls an asm procedure named "strcpy" it ships itself.

Explain WHAT? There is NO strcpy in the code. No such procedure
should have been called. Period. The generated code is defective.
