clang and gas seem to interpret the symbols in memmove.S and

Copy the exact way these are written in memcpy_64.S, which does
not have the same problem.
I don't know why this makes a difference, and it would be good
to have someone with a better understanding of assembler internals
review it.
It might be either a bug in the kernel or a bug in the assembler,
no idea which one. My patch makes it work with all versions of
clang and gcc, which is probably helpful even if it's a workaround
for a clang bug.

I think we saw this bug or a very similar bug internally around the
ordering of .weak to .global.
This may be another instance of
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2020-March/000299.html
https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20200325164257.170229-1-maskray@xxxxxxxxxx/
I haven't checked but there may be both a .globl directive and a .weak
directive
