It's not KASAN-related but rather some cruft that's still around in the
32-bit x86 header. It unnecessarily defines memcpy as __builtin_memcpy
even though the built-in is already used on modern GCC, while the 64-bit
header only does a similar define for GCC < 4.3. I'll just make it stop
doing that with fortify enabled.
