x86/boot: #undef memcpy() et al in string.c
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
undef memcpy() and friends in boot/string.c so that the functions
defined here will have the correct names, otherwise we end up
up trying to redefine __builtin_memcpy() etc.

Surprisingly, GCC allows this (and, helpfully, discards the
__builtin_ prefix from the function name when compiling it),
but clang does not.

Adding these #undef's appears to preserve what I assume was
the original intent of the code.
