line 8246

I would rather consider it a bugfix around a crude hack. After querying 
HAVE_MEMPCPY you have no guarantee that you have the function __mempcpy, 
and in portable programs you should not try to call it then. And even 
then, the __mempcpy version saves only one or two assembler instructions 
compared to the non-__mempcpy version. The semantics are the same in 
both branches.
