The main change is s/overflown/overflowed/ but I made a couple of
other minor grammatical fixes.
Committed to trunk as obvious.

There are built-in functions added for many common string operation
functions, e.g., for @code{memcpy} @code{__builtin___memcpy_chk}

-which is the number of bytes remaining in object the @var{dest}

argument points to or @code{(size_t) -1} if the size is not known.
The built-in functions are optimized into the normal string functions
like @code{memcpy} if the last argument is @code{(size_t) -1} or if
it is known at compile time that the destination object will not

-object will be always overflown, it issues a warning.
