oh, interesting, so bcmp is asm and memcmp is C for amd64!

$ ls -1 libc/arch/*/*/*cmp*                                libc/arch/amd64/string/bcmp.S                              libc/arch/amd64/string/strcmp.S                            libc/arch/arm/string/memcmp.S                              libc/arch/arm/string/strcmp.S                              libc/arch/arm/string/strncmp.S                             libc/arch/i386/string/bcmp.S                               libc/arch/i386/string/memcmp.S                             libc/arch/i386/string/strcmp.S                             libc/arch/i386/string/strncmp.S                            libc/arch/mips64/string/bcmp.S                             libc/arch/mips64/string/strcmp.S
