And I see that MinGW's just include 'string.h'. Good enough :)

Thanks.
I was not sure whether that was common or not in an embedded system.

What bothers me though is that the functions aren't used (since the
program runs without) yet are still required at compile time, but I
guess it would require some work to split the .o's even more.

In the free software world too :)
