I agree. That x86 strlen() inline is from 1991 with fixes ever after, and
pre-dates gcc having any support for inline at all. We're much more likely
to be better off just removing it these days. Is somebody willing to
compare code quality? I wouldn't be in the least surprised if gcc did a
better job these days..
