really gain by the change.
yes, i believe this is true

I only tried in on x86 with my toolchain and it works, but I don't know if it is worth the risk of breaking someone's setup for virtually no gain...

With the memmem() removed, the code builds (and works)
fine on several non-GNU systems.  It should be perfectly
safe to remove the _GNU_SOURCE.

You're right. I went back in history and it was me who introduced the _GNU_SOURCE when I added the memmem too (shame on me). So, if it worked fine before, there is no reason to not work now that memmem is removed.

So I can:

 - send an incremental patch with just that line removed

 - send a replacement patch

- just leave it for now and wait until I work on kallsyms again to silently remove that line together with other changes

Andrew, what would you prefer?
