memcpy_P function AVR?

Question

void * memcpy_P( void * dest, PGM_VOID_P src, size_t n )

Could someone please tell me where the above function is implemented in the avr libc library?

I can only seem to find a definition for the function in a few header files, not the actual implementation.

The reason I want to do this is because at the moment I am doing so performance testing on the AVRAtmega128rfa1 and I need see the AVR assembly code for the function too see how long it takes to execute.

Thanks.

In avr-libc-1.8.0, the function is defined in avr-libc-1.8.0/libc/pmstring/memcpy_P.S

    The memcpy_P() function is similar to memcpy(), except the src string
    resides in program space.

    \returns The memcpy_P() function returns a pointer to dest.  */
