it's not as hard as you seem to think.
plenty of people have implemented strcpy(), strlen(), etc for embedded-like platforms.

"Hard" by whose definition? I had to implement those in MIPS assembly and write a hash table in x86 assembly in school but I don't think I could do that today without a good deal of refresh. I'd venture to say that most software developers today wouldn't even know where to begin because most software written today targets a VM that doesn't expose pointer arithmetic.
