Is there a gcc option to turn off the "memcpy with NULL and len=0 is undefined
behavior" thing?  It's basically a bug in the C standard.

Note that the kernel already uses options that make other types of undefined
behavior defined: -fno-strict-overflow, -fno-strict-aliasing, and
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks.
