This gcc build was apparently configured like so:

/home/arnd/git/gcc/configure --target=m68k-linux --enable-targets=all 
--prefix=/home/arnd/cross/x86_64/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/m68k-linux 
--enable-languages=c --without-headers --disable-bootstrap --disable-nls 
--disable-threads --disable-shared --disable-libmudflap --disable-libssp 
--disable-libgomp --disable-decimal-float --disable-libquadmath 
--disable-libatomic --disable-libcc1 --disable-libmpx 
--enable-checking=release

In my own cross toolchain builds strcmp comes from glibc but this 
toolchain has no libc at all.

Linux will use the strcmp in lib/string.c unless __HAVE_ARCH_STRCMP is 
defined in the arch headers. Grep suggests that m68k, mips, x86, xtensa, 
arc, sh, arm64, s390 all define that macro. But maybe you could just patch 
out that definition for build testing.
