The fix:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcmp-sse2.S;h=afd450d0206d6633da9fbc4607a7fa6aeb4e137c;hb=HEAD#l46
```
-# define SIZE_OFFSET (CHAR_PER_VEC * 2)
+# define SIZE_OFFSET 0
```
Is this something we have to support? I believe other functions /
implementations
of memcmp will suffer from a similar bug.
