 BTW, just tested icc and icc doesn't generate cld either (so it matches the
 new gcc behavior).
 char buf1[32], buf2[32];
 void bar (void);
 void foo (void)
 {
  __builtin_memset (buf1, 0, 32);
  bar ();
  __builtin_memset (buf2, 0, 32);
 }


Icc follows the psABI. If we are saying icc/gcc 4.3 need a fix, we'd
better define
a new psABI first.


Not a fix, an (optional) workaround for a system bug.
