Good news!  Commit e288572710250bcd2aa0f69ce88154d98ac69b29 adjusts
‘gcc-strmov-store-file-names.patch’ in ‘core-updates’ to correctly deal
with this case:

$ cat strmov.c 
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <string.h>
static const char str[] =
  "This is a /gnu/store/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee string in a global 
variable.";

extern char *p, *q;

#ifndef MEMCPY
# define MEMCPY memcpy
#endif

void foo (char *x, char *y)
{
  MEMCPY (x, str, sizeof str);
  MEMCPY (y, "this is a literal /gnu/store/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 
string", 35);
}

I built everything about to ‘gcc-final’ in ‘core-updates’.  I checked
manually that none of the /gnu/store references in libc-2.26.so were
chunked.

For the record, what the patch initially did was to skip code that would
otherwise emit a “block move” when expanding __builtin_memcpy & co.
This patch additionally skips similar code that would replace
__builtin_memcpy calls with memory moves early on, in
‘gimple_fold_builtin_memory_op’, before ‘expand_builtin’ is called.

In the example above, this transformation would lead to the code below
(as seen with ‘-fdump-tree-all’ in the ‘gimple’ phase output):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
foo (char * x, char * y)
{
  MEM[(char * {ref-all})x] = MEM[(char * {ref-all})&str];
  memcpy (y, "this is a literal /gnu/store/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 
string", 35);
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

With the patch we get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
foo (char * x, char * y)
{
  memcpy (x, &str, 85);
  memcpy (y, "this is a literal /gnu/store/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 
string", 35);
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
