Well, rth commented that this might fail for long strings. But those
strings must be string constants, not actual strings. And gcc (nor
any other compiler) will have support for strings of more than 2^32
character in length. So it should be possible to apply the patch.

Which functions? The generic functions should perform quite good.
The copying of constant strings work by moving immedate values which
is much faster.
