I think the real fix is to just remove that broken implementation
entirely, and rely on the generic one.

Perfectly fine with me.

That got pushed out as commit 7c0846125358 ("m68k: remove broken
strcmp implementation") but it's obviously entirely untested. I don't
do m68k cross-compiles, much less boot tests.

Just FYI for everybody - I may have screwed something up for some very
non-obvious reason.

But it looked very obvious indeed, and I hate having buggy code that
is architecture-specific when we have generic code that isn't buggy.

Thank you for being proactive!
It works fine (and slightly reduced kernel size, too ;-)

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
