OK.

This is incorrect. You should be adding function.S to the appropriate
variable in sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/Makefile, but only when "ifeq
($(subdir),string)". You should never modify a non-machine Makefile if
you are adding a machine-dependent function.

Did you add your function to the declarations in string/string.h?

Cheers,
