OK OK, I am convinced. Then how about this? If you prefer speed over
size, the the other option is to add

size_t strlen(const char *s)
{
       return __kernel_strlen(s);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(strlen);

to arch/m68k/lib/string.c. On a related note, arch/m68k/lib/string.c is
built only in the CONFIG_MMU case, whereas asm/string.h is shared.

Subject: [PATCH] m68k: Remove inline strlen() implementation

GCC can replace a strncat() call with constant second argument into a
strlen + store, which results in a link error:

ERROR: "strlen" [net/ipv4/ip_tunnel.ko] undefined!

The inline function is a simple for loop in C. Other architectures
either use an asm optimized variant, or use the generic function from
lib/string.c.
