Explicitly disable the compiler's builtin memcmp(), memcpy(), and

the compiler reserves the right to do what it wants and can try to link the
non-freestanding code to its own crud.

   /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.a(memcmp.o): in function `memcmp_ifunc':
   (.text+0x0): multiple definition of `memcmp'; tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/string_override.o:
   tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/string_override.c:15: first defined here
   clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Hmm, that's weird though. I think it's an effect of ifunc and maybe even a linker bug. The patch makes sense anyway.
