Log Message:
For evbppc, use C version of bcopy(3), memcpy(3), memcmp(3), and
memmove(3) consistently for debug library (*.go) in order to avoid
alignment faults for 403.

Why do we want to pessimize all evbppc targets just for issues with the
403 design?

Well, for kernel, we can readily switch unaffected machines to
assembler versions.

For userland, we can provide something like libc_ua.so for machines
with capability of unaligned access. Some time, I will benchmark
whether it is worth the cost.

Thanks,
rin
