This one actually works.  Any objections?

Subject: [PATCH] Define _HAVE_STRING_ARCH_mempcpy to 1 for x86

Since x86 has an optimized mempcpy and GCC can inline mempcpy on x86,
define _HAVE_STRING_ARCH_mempcpy to 1 for x86.

	[BZ #19759]
	* sysdeps/x86/bits/string.h (_HAVE_STRING_ARCH_mempcpy): New.
