with regard to 2), there seems to be a problem on memcpy and friends
on armeb (please check the port-arm archives in August), so you need a
work around until that would be solved.

I think you have to
[for userland]
- modify lib/libc/arch/arm/Makefile.inc to remove mem{move,cpy}.S from
  KMSRCS
- modify lib/libc/arch/arm/string/Makefile.inc to remove memcpy.S,
  _memcpy.S, memove.S, memset.S, bzero.S out of SRCS,
  and to add memcpy.c, bcopy.c, memmove.c, memset.c, bzero.c into SRCS,
- move lib/libc/arch/arm/string/{_memcpy,bcopy,bzero,mem{cpy,move,set}}.S
  to *.S.XXX
[for kernel]
- modify sys/lib/libkern/arch/arm/Makefile.inc to remove memcmp.S,
  memcpy.S, memset.S, memmove.S out of SRCS,
  and to add memcmp.c, memcpy.c, memset.c, memove.c
- move sys/lib/libkern/arch/arm/{bzero,mem{cmp,cpy,move,set}}.S to
  *.S.XXX.

At leaset, I think you can avoid the problem 2).
