Yes. The correct implementation correctly drops the alignment check on the dst 
parameter for `memcpy((char *)a, b, sz);`

@zygoloid 
Is reusing the message for regular stores clear (current behavior) enough?
```
// CHECK-MEMCPY-STORE: misaligned.cpp:[[#@LINE+4]]{{(:12)?}}: runtime error: 
store to misaligned address [[PTR:0x[0-9a-f]*]] for type 'int *', which 
requires 4 byte alignment
```
