+Remove overly optimistic definition of strmov() as stpcpy().
+
+mysql uses this macro with overlapping source and destination strings,
+which is verboten per spec, and fails on some Red Hat platforms.
+Deleting the definition is sufficient to make it fall back to a
+byte-at-a-time copy loop, which should consistently give the
+expected behavior.
+
+Note: the particular case that prompted this patch is reported and fixed
+at http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=48864. However, my faith in upstream's
+ability to detect this type of error is low, and I also see little evidence
+of any real performance gain from optimizing these calls. So I'm keeping
+this patch.
