The updated test-memchr is passing on your autobuilder; which version of glibc do you have on that machine? We know the broken memchr on x86_64 is in 2.10 but not current glibc (which will become 2.11), and based on the glibc release notes, I don't think the bug was present in 2.9 either: | Version 2.10 ... | * Faster strlen, strchr, strchrnul, strrchr, memchr, and rawmemchr for x86-64. | Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. I guess I'd like to see a failure report for test-memchr in the wild before worrying about replacing that function in gnulib, although I'm fairly confident that we should be able to find one. The broken alpha version may have been around longer, and I'm not sure whether it is fixed yet, but alpha seems to be a less popular architecture. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
