AFAIK most of the include/asm/string-i386.h are still miscompiled, but
few people see that problem because only some specific driver combinations
use them in critical paths.
I think the best fix is to replace strlen/strcpy/strcmp with the __builtin_*
variants (BTW, g++ does not seem to know about __builtin_str* - is this a bug
?), and replace all others except memset/memcpy/memmove with C variants.
