there might be the word memcpy in comments or whatever, depends on the
assembler format etc. might be really relatively difficult to set up
reliably.

Other options:

 - compile it with that -Dmemcpy=noname trick to a normal .o and use
   nm to look for an undefined symbol "memcpy".

 - use a different name for the implementation of the function from
   the start, __musl_memcpy or so. Then you could do the check for the
   memcpy symbol on the normally compiled .o and (if everything is ok)
   rename the __musl_memcpy to memcpy with some linker trick.

 - put "#define memcpy __musl_memcpy" at the start of string.h
   if __musl_memcpy would refer to memcpy this would give an link time
   error for an undefined symbol.
