  When a thread is updating the memory area of memcmp and another thread
is doing memcmp, the memcmp return value is undefined.  Add a testcase
to verify that memcmp won't segfault in this case.

Imo if we test this `LEN` should be a variable and we should test
all 2^N + 1 for N in [0, 12]. I wouldn't be suprised if there are
other cases.

I had to make this volatile to reproduce the failure
with GCC 12, does this properly segfault w.o the
fix patch?

If we are testing this I think it should test each impl.

IMO remove the print and make `result` volatile.

Not sure we want this, given its not behavior we have decided
to actively support its failures could be misleading.

Fixd in v2.

Yes, with -O0.

There is a race condition.  -O0 can reproduce it with GCC 12.

This testcase only checks segfault, not memcmp return values.

At this point I don't think we have committed to not segfaulting
in the data-race case.
