Actually the reason for the error: xstrrpl.c:25:22: error: macro "stpcpy" requires 2 arguments, but only 1 given xstrrpl.c:25: error: 'stpcpy' redeclared as different kind of symbol

is that line 25 in xstrrpl.c is declaring stpcpy as an external function and the compiler is complaining about the function having only one argument. I suspect stpcpy is now a macro instead of a function and the pre-processor is chocking on the external function declaration. To fix the problem comment the external function declaration (line 25) out.
