I see you removed all the str* stuff. memcmp, however, suffers from the same original problem, and I would doubt it is

We use the compiler intrinsic for memcmp, and have no inline asm version.
Oh, ITYM memchr(). You're absolutely right. It doesn't have *any* users so I'll just remove the incorrect inline asm version.
