Are there systems where strcpy doesn't return a value?

On our MORE/bsd 4.3 system, if I use "lint -p" on these lines:
	#include "stdio.h"
	extern char *	strcpy();
	main()
	{
		char	buf[20];
		return strcpy(buf, "Hello, world.\n") != buf;
	}
I get this output:
	strcpy value is used, but none returned
On System V-based systems, no such warning is produced.
My question: Is BSD right, or is System V right?  Are there systems on which
strcpy does not return a value?
Please mail replies to me, rather than posting an article to this news group.
Thanks.
