There is nothing to fix, strcpy and strcat work exactly as required by
the C standard, and that isn't going to change. In any case, it's
off-topic on this mailing list because those functions are defined in
the C standard and provided by the C library on your OS, not by GCC.
This list is for discussing the development of GCC itself.

GCC has a very capable Ada compiler, so maybe you will be happy using
that instead of C.
