Hmm, this may work for me (i.e. do memcpy via PLT instead and then add
it as a compat symbol to libc.so and also into libc_nonshared.a) so that
only the backport needs the check-localplt override and not upstream.
I'll give it a shot next month since I'm going underground next week for
the rest of the month.
