[PATCH v4 11/11] libc: mips: fix strcmp bug for little endian targets

[Jovan Dmitrovic]

From: Faraz Shahbazker <fshahbazker@wavecomp.com>

strcmp gives incorrect result for little endian targets under
the following conditions:
1. Length of 1st string is 1 less than a multiple of 4 (i.e len%4=3)
2. First string is a prefix of the second string
3. The first differing character in the second string is extended
ASCII (that is > 127)
