No, some confusion arised as I'm typically working in iio and gpio.
I'm more used to having strscpy() readily available and thought that
not having strscpy() in the tools-specific libraries was strange. But
the stupid thing is that it was aliased to strcpy in
tools/include/linux/string.h (#define strscpy strcpy). I'm sorry, but
we really need to at least get that macro removed, it's pretty
precarious. Besides, we're not trying to change glibc, we're just
trying to move in the latest and much safer function...
