> The have_func('strlcpy', 'string.h') call in lib/rb/ext/extconf.rb is broken in Ruby 1.9.1.  The check always succeeds because Ruby now includes strlcpy in /usr/include/ruby-1.9.1/ruby/missing.h as long as HAVE_STRLCPY is undefined and the Ruby headers are always included by have_func.  The call in extconf.rb finds the function and sets the HAVE_STRLCPY macro for the Makefile.  /lib/rb/ext/struct.c then fails to build because neither the included strlcpy or the strlcpy provided by Ruby are used when HAVE_STRLCPY is set.
> Removing the have_func line from lib/rb/ext/extconf.rb and the definition of strlcpy in lib/rb/ext/struct.c fixes the build.
