Wouldn't it be simpler to just remove offending shared libraries
from your system?

What is this good for? For correct usage of strcpy(), it is annoying.
If the use of strcpy() is unwanted for some reason, you have to
search and change the source code anyway. If you want to find out
if the C library's strcpy() is used by some object, you have nm or
readelf or objdump. If the C compiler happens to use a builtin
strcpy(), the check will fail.
