[RFC-PATCH] x86: really use __builtin_memcmp on x86_32

From: Harvey Harrison
Date: Mon Nov 10 2008 - 01:12:42 EST


Impact: prevent generic code from overriding __builtin_memcmp

lib/string.c was using a generic implementation of memcmp
because __HAVE_ARCH_MEMCMP was not defined and it was then doing
#undef memcmp and defining a generic version.
