[ale] compile error: strlcpy defined differently in 2 different files, huh ?

It looks like you have to make modifications somewhere.

It seems to me that you should call strncpy() instead in the app.
Anywhere in the app that you call strlcpy with 3 arguments matching the
prototype then simply change strlcpy to strncpy.
