Break point on shared library function not working...?

[UltrosMaximus]

Hey, so I'm just writing a small little c program here and trying to get the
break points working but I can't seem to get it to break on a shared
library.

here's my program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
    char str_a[20]'
    
    strcpy(str_a, "hello");
    printf(str_a);
}

thats all there is to the program, and i am using gdb by command line on the
newest version of openSUSE.

so here's what i'm trying:

gdb -q ./char_array2
(gdb) break strcpy
          Function "strcpy" not defined.
          Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or n) y
          Breakpoint 1 (strcpy) pending.
(gdb) run
          Starting program: /home/rob/code/char_array2
          hello

          Program exited with code 016.
(gdb)


I can't figure out what the problem is here. Seems like it should work but
it won't let me break on strcpy. Even if I break on main and then try to set
a break on strcpy and then continue, it still goes right through and does
not break. According to the docs and other examples i've seen this should
work fine so what is going on? am i missing something really simple here?
