The failed command was:
===
depbase=`echo lib/stpncpy.o | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.o$||'` ; \
gcc -std=gnu99  -I. -I./lib  -Ilib -I./lib -Isrc -I./src    -g -O2 -MT 
lib/stpncpy.o -MD -MP -MF $depbase.Tpo -c -o lib/stpncpy.o lib/stpncpy.c
===

Attached is the output of:
===
gcc -E -std=gnu99  -I. -I./lib  -Ilib -I./lib -Isrc -I./src    -g -O2 -MT 
lib/stpncpy.o -MD -MP -MF lib/.deps/stpncpy.Tpo lib/stpncpy.c > stnpcpy.E.txt
===


I don't know exactly why, but it seems the definition of "stpncpy" is replaced

From:
===
char *
__stpncpy (char *dest, const char *src, size_t n)
{
  char c;
  char *s = dest;
===

To:
===
char *
((__builtin_object_size (char *dest, 0) != (size_t) -1) ? __builtin___stpncpy_chk 
(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n, __builtin_object_size (char *dest, 2 > 
1)) : __inline_stpncpy_chk (char *dest, const char *src, size_t n))
{
  char c;
  char *s = dest;
===

Which looks like some macro expansion, but I couldn't find the declaration of 
this macro.
