Old Synopsis: incorrect inlining of memcpy under -O2

State-Changed-Why:
    Confirmed. This program
    ----------------------------
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    int main()
    {
      char* buffer = new char[8];
      const char head[8] = {
        'A', 'B', 'C', 'D',
        'E', 'F', 'G', 'H'
      };
      memcpy(buffer,head,8);
      for(int i=0;i<8;i++)
        printf ("[%u] = %c, %c\n", i, head[i], buffer[i]);
      return 0;
    }
    --------------------------------
    yields with 3.2.2pre, 3.3pre, and 2.95 respectively:
    
    tmp/g> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.2.2-pre/bin/c++ -O2 bug.cc  &&  ./a.out
    [0] = A, A
    [1] = B,
    [2] = C,
    [3] = D,
    [4] = E, E
    [5] = F, F
    [6] = G, G
    [7] = H, H
    
    
    tmp/g> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.3-pre/bin/c++ -O2 bug.cc  &&  ./a.out
    [0] = A, A
    [1] = B,
    [2] = C,
    [3] = D,
    [4] = E, E
    [5] = F, F
    [6] = G, G
    [7] = H, H
    
    
    tmp/g> c++ -O2 bug.cc  &&  ./a.out
    [0] = A, A
    [1] = B, B
    [2] = C, C
    [3] = D, D
    [4] = E, E
    [5] = F, F
    [6] = G, G
    [7] = H, H
    
    
    That seems like a regression.
