override memset...

If your system supports LD_PRELOAD, then yes, you can override any function in 
any system library.  I'm guessing you're using FreeBSD and I don't know if it 
supports that or not (I use Solaris which does).  By setting LD_PRELOAD to your 
shared library, any program you run with LD_PRELOAD set will go thru your 
library first.  If you have a function called memset(), it will use the one in 
your library since it finds that before the system version.

Can't help you with -minline-all-stringops.
