Great, perhaps you want to pass a patch proposal to gcc folks?
We might consider replacinging memzero_explicit with memset_s() since that is in the C!! standard, albeit I think as optional. IBM, Apple, NetBSD, ... have that. https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2012/02/24/msg006125.html
The patch you point to for NetBSD does nothing else what memzero_explicit() or bzero_explicit() variants already internally do, only that they're discussing about whether to adopt it or not in their user space libc ...
