>Description:
-freestanding will, under some conditions, generate a call to 
memcpy behind the back of the user.  This defeats the point of

>How-To-Repeat:
typedef struct foo{
        char blah[1024];
} foo_t;
 
extern foo_t one, two;
 
void
foo(void)
{
        one = two;
}

        call    memcpy
