OK, so we only inline with __OPTIMIZE__ and __extern_always_inline defined
(this limits inlining to modern GCCs but that's not an issue).

We also need to check _FORCE_INLINES to ensure string/string-inlines.c doesn't
report errors. So:


#if defined __USE_GNU && defined __OPTIMIZE__ && defined __extern_always_inline
# if !defined _FORCE_INLINES && !defined _HAVE_STRING_ARCH_mempcpy

#undef mempcpy
#undef __mempcpy
#define mempcpy(dest, src, n) __mempcpy_inline (dest, src, n)
#define __mempcpy(dest, src, n) __mempcpy_inline (dest, src, n)

__extern_always_inline void *
__mempcpy_inline (void *__restrict __dest,
                  const void *__restrict __src, size_t __n)
{
  return (char *) memcpy (__dest, __src, __n) + __n;
}

# endif
#endif
