I can't find any such language in the standard.  Besides, the Standard
knows nothing of __builtin_memcpy: that's a GCC extension :-)  What
the Standard says about memcpy() could be relevant, to a point, but
all it seems to say is that memcpy copies the given number of
characters from source to dest.  No mention of alignment, since it's
all accessed as char anyway.
