Hi,
The old GNU assemblers may use memcpy to copy overlap memory:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11456
It has been fixed by replacing memcpy with memove. I recommend
all existing GNU assemblers be fixed, especially with glibc trunk on
x86 since it has the optimized memcpy which may trigger the assembler
bug.
