glibc/sysdeps/sparc/sparc32/sparcv9/str*cpy.S redirect to the corresponding files in glibc/sysdeps/sparc/sparc64/, which use the 64-bit SPARC instruction set but do *not* use VIS or other extensions yet. There are VIS-using implementations of memcpy() and memset() in glibc/sysdeps/sparc/sparc64/multiarch/, but nothing similar for string instructions so far. (This is all in glibc trunk.)
Obviously the GCC builtins for strcpy() et al still work.
