It seems as though it is simply not implemented, I found a variety of links  
that all support this:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/40162721

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38322363/when-will-the-safe-string-functions-of-c11-be-part-of-glibc

https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/C11Status (which states that Annex K is not 
implemented)
