Hum, if you cannot tolerate a function call, I tend to think that the
whole #if should go away.  gcc might generate one for obscure reasons.

Also, your test for __builtin_memset doesn't seem to take into
consideration wether or not a call was generated.  I'm not sure that
the test is right.  If you want to be sure that no call is generated,
then I think you need a test that the assembly file doesn't contain
the word memset or bzero.  If it does, then assume that that the call
was not inlined.
