  GCC normally does this optimization for us in
strlen_pass::handle_builtin_strcpy but only for optimized
build. To avoid needing to include strcpy.S in the rtld build to
support the debug build, just do the optimization by hand.

It does fixes this build issue I had when using -Og (using gcc 11.2, on amd64):

     gcc   -nostdlib -nostartfiles -shared -o .../build/elf/ld.so.new        \
           -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,defs     \
           -Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs \
           .../build/elf/librtld.os -Wl,--version-script=.../build/ld.map        \
           -Wl,-soname=ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
     /usr/bin/ld: .../build/elf/librtld.os: in function `_dl_load_cache_lookup':
     .../elf/dl-cache.c:513: undefined reference to `strcpy'
     collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
     make[2]: *** [Makefile:1347: .../build/elf/ld.so] Error 1
     make[2]: Leaving directory '.../elf'
     make[1]: *** [Makefile:484: elf/subdir_lib] Error 2
     make[1]: Leaving directory '...'
     make: *** [Makefile:9: all] Error 2

Thanks.

Any objections to backporting this to 2.36?
