gnulib's memmem originated with glibc's memmem [and still claims to be
part of glibc] but was given a different license immediately
afterwards (glibc's memmem is lgpl, gnulib's memmem is gpl).

[at least according to: http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=summary]

That's ok for GDB of course, but how about libiberty?  A mix of pure
GPL and LGPL/GPL+exception in libiberty seems problematic, but it's
been awhile.
