Hi,

Can we try to get this sorted out properly instead of constantly

Currently we use -ffreestanding on some architectures and fix breakages 
on the other architectures when they arise.

This won't help completely unless you also clean up all archs to use the 
same mappings to the builtin functions.

The main problem I had with -ffreestanding is that it's awkward to map a 
library function to the builtin function and also provide the fallback 
from lib/string.c.
If you look at asm-m68k/string.h I once tried this with the mem* functions 
and I still have the duplicated memcmp in arch/m68k/lib/string.c.
(You could argue that it would be easier to just remove the define for 
memcmp in this specific case, but I'm interested in the general case.)

bye, Roman
