>Description:
The x86 backend is currently generates incorrect code for
builtin memset, when using "-minline-all-stringops".  This
is specific to the ia-32 backend.  Interestingly, GCC uses
different code sequences for "-march=athlon" which doesn't
exhibit the problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
The problem can be reproduced by compiling and running the
memset correctness test, gcc.c-torture/execute/memset-1.c,
with command line options "-O2 -minline-all-stringops".

Once I get a PR number, I'll submit a new gcc.dg testcase
to gcc-patches to check for this problem on i?86-*-*.
>Fix:
For the time being, don't specify "-minline-all-stringops".
