__bzero errors and replacement

Hey,

I recently messed up my system, so know that anything that uses __bzero
wont compile. I will reinstall everything soon, but thats not the issue.
Its my understanding the __bzero is old, and shouldnt be used anymore.
While trying to compile the kernel i have noticed to places that use it,
the menu xconfig, and build.c. I got the kernel to compile by doing make
menuconfig, and then i modified build.c. I put a #define __bzero(a,n)
(void)memset(a,b,1) at the top of the file, and got build.c to work, to
compress the kernel to a bzImage. Anyway, since bzero is old it might be
wise to replace it in make xconfig and build.c.
