Doesn't anybody read the man pages any more?  The obvious thing is to
use the supplied facility: the -y option to ld.

% cc -o program *.o -y_memcpy
Undefined:
_memcpy
buildstruct.o: reference to external undefined _memcpy
copytree.o: reference to external undefined _memcpy
%

(I don't know how generally available this is.  You did say "berklix",
and I know this is in 4.3, but I don't know about other Berklices.)
