Does bare metal Rust also use memcpy() or other library functions? If so, how are those linked into the final binary?

Yes, LLVM will assume three or four functions exist regardless. The rlibc crate provides a Rust implementation of them, so you just add it and you're done. https://github.com/alexcrichton/rlibc

They are usually provided by libc, but if you do low level stuff they are provided by other means.
