That seems wrong.

CMakeLists.txt checks for the existence of the function and uses its own 
implementation from mapstring.cpp if not found:

  check_function_exists("strlcat"  HAVE_STRLCAT)
  check_function_exists("strlcpy"  HAVE_STRLCPY)

The functions are detected as shown in the buildlog:

  -- Looking for strlcat
  -- Looking for strlcat - found
  -- Looking for strlcpy
  -- Looking for strlcpy - found

Why does this only happen on armhf?

Kind Regards,

Bas
