At some point, possibly.  (There's no "strlen" module in gnulib. :-)
memmove.c was needed only for systems released between roughly 1980
and 1994.  When these systems' uses are dead and gone there won't be
any point to maintaining memmove.

I don't know -- I think they're just as portable (and ported) as the
other programs that you mention.  But anyway, if make, sed, gawk
etc. run into problems in this area, I'll volunteer to write a
locale.h module.
