It would probably be easier to use an LD_PRELOAD to load a wrapper to
change memcpy() with overlaps to memmove(). This would obviously slow
down all memcpy() calls, but maybe it could just be used for Flash (or
at least just for plugins). Something like (untested):
/* Library preload to replacing overlapping memcpy() with memmove()
*
* Compile with:
* gcc -O2 -ldl -fpic -shared -o preload-memcpy.so preload-memcpy.c
* Use like
* LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/preload-memcpy.so; export LD_PRELOAD
* <some command>
*/
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <string.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
#include <assert.h>
static void * (*real_memcpy) (void *dest, const void *src, size_t n);
void *memcpy (void *dest, const void *src, size_t n)
{
char *d = (char *) dest;
char *s = (char *) src;
if (((d < s) && ((d + n - 1) >= s)) ||
((s < d) && ((s + n - 1) >= d)))
return memmove (dest, src, n);
if (! real_memcpy)
assert (real_memcpy = dlsym (RTLD_NEXT, "memcpy"));
return real_memcpy (dest, src, n);
}

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
