Do you mean that:

1) the compiler is compiling a "call memcpy", where the bytes "rep
movsl" are interpreted as "rep movsw"

2) the compiler's integrated assembler is including the bytes for "rep
movsl", but in 16-bit mode they are "rep movsw"

3) something else

The -m16 or -no-integrated-as flags perhaps can help?
