m68k is one of the architectures not using -ffreestanding, so this 
kind of problems is somehow expected...

We could add -ffreestanding on m68k.

Or replace all the strlen stuff in include/asm-m68k/string.h with a 
function prototype, which lets gcc choose itself whether it wants to use 
the builtin or the version from lib/string.c, and makes an out-of-line 
version of the function available for caes like the one we face here.
