The patch does fix it for me, without any size changes for the legacy
mode of compiling the source files one-by-one.

I'm not entirely sure how to fix this in a compiler agnostic way unless
i do away with the #undef and adjust all users to use bb_strlen
directly instead of relying on the preprocessor to fix the affected
applets up.

Thoughts?
