When the selftest 'tap.c' is compiled with '-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3', the strcpy() in rtattr_add_strsz() is replaced with a checked version which causes the test to consistently fail when compiled with toolchains for which this option is enabled by default.

A buffer overflow is detected by the fortified glibc __strcpy_chk() since the __builtin_object_size() of `RTA_DATA(rta)` is incorrectly reported as 1, even though there is ample space in its bounding buffer `req`.
Using the unchecked function memcpy() here instead allows us to match the way rtattr_add_str() is written while avoiding the spurious test failure.
