You expect but could you prove it? Please provide two versions of gcc
where you get different simple-* function when compiling with -O0 -S

Versions I checked are
 Debian 4.5.3-12
 Debian 4.7.1-2
gcc version 4.9.0 20130516 (experimental) (GCC)

Assemblies produced are same for following fragment:

void 
*memset (char *s, int c, int n)
{
  int i;
  for(i=0 ;i<n; i++) s[i] = c;
  return s;
}
