Make sure that statements such as:

  strcpy (dst, "/gnu/store/…");

or

  static const char str[] = "/gnu/store/…";
  …
  strcpy (dst, str);

do not result in chunked /gnu/store strings that are undetectable by
Guix's GC and its grafting code.  See <https://bugs.gnu.org/24703>
and <https://bugs.gnu.org/30395>.
