As I noted in 
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-05/msg00248.html>, there is a 
separate x86 version of string-inlines.c.  Thus, any patches moving 
inlines to string-inlines.c need to handle both the generic version and 
the x86 one, in a way that avoids duplicating function definitions in any 
cases where x86 uses the generic definitions from bits/string2.h in 
string-inlines.c at present (in many cases it may not, if 
sysdeps/x86/bits/string.h overrides them, so I don't know if there's 
actually much duplication to avoid).  And such patches need testing both 
on 32-bit x86 and on another architecture such as x86_64.

(sysdeps/i386/string-inlines.c can be ignored or removed since plain i386 
is no longer supported; only string/string-inlines.c and 
sysdeps/i386/i486/string-inlines.c are relevant.)
