Dup of bug 56888.

Hi AK,
The executive summary is that you need to specify -ffreestanding (which affects code generation) instead of -nostdlib and -nodefaultlibs (which affect linking).
With -ffreestanding (on your godbolt URL), there are no calls to memcpy.
Comment 3 AK 2022-06-04 22:51:51 UTC
with -ffreestanding the calls to memcpy did disappear. Thanks.
