i am not sure that on the strings (length-wise) wm operates on,
calling out to libc for a (potentially faster (than a loop)) memcpy
would pay off (otoh, it might not matter).

do they have a matching strlcat? if not, i definitely don't want to
mix them; if yes, maybe.
all in all, i feel more comfortable with the bsd versions.
(ps. could you push yesterday's osdep_stub patch?)
