I take it's that's full testsuite runs, not just the string/ directory
(so, in particular, you verified that the ABI tests for libc.so pass and
that these functions are still in libc.so for x86 - I don't see quite how
that would work with this patch since you didn't touch
sysdeps/i386/string-inlines.c).
As a followup, such functions (no longer used in inlines in any installed
header) could be made into compat symbols (not in libc.a, not available
for new links, not included in future glibc ports).
