glibc includes are "smart", and do things like `#if defined __OPTIMIZE__'

No, I think it's a problem with glibc, or perhaps just your include files.

Your .i file had this in it:

extern char * ___strtok;
extern char * __extension__ ({ char __a0, __a1, __a2; [rest snipped]

which comes from linux/string.h

extern char * ___strtok;
extern char * strcpy(char *,const char *);

The problem being that strcpy is being replaced with an inline
expansion.  Dunno why this is happenning.
