I wonder, strcmp() is the only one not done in assembler.
Is there a particular reason? (Or the other way around, why
is memcpy/memset not C.) The opcode is rep[n]z cmps[bl];
Would perhaps using __builtin_memset
and whatever GCC provides also work in 16-bit mode (would save
implementing it again).

What's edd good for here?
