Sounds like something that I could do. I've got a big unused partition and
a machine that's going to be basically sitting idle for the next couple of
days. I could install the LFS source on it (I've got the source for LFS
5.0) and run a few greps over the holiday period.

The manual on the libsafe homepage says it checks for the following
functions:

strcpy, strcat, getwd, gets, [vf]scanf, realpath, [v]sprintf

Mind you, that manual is dated 9 Jan 2001. Do I need to get a more
up-to-date version to see if any more functions are used?
