Here is hoping!  ;-)

You lost me here.

My intent is to push these nolicb patches into the upcoming v6.2
merge window:

2318a710bffbd tools/nolibc: Fix missing strlen() definition and infinite loop with gcc-12
6937b8de8f1c3 tools/nolibc/string: Fix memcmp() implementation
e1bbfe393c900 selftests/nolibc: Add 7 tests for memcmp()
3f2c1c45a3a9a selftests/nolibc: Always rebuild the sysroot when running a test

I didn't see the problem until I queued the third patch (e1bbfe393c900),
and it is still in -rcu, not in v6.1.

What am I missing here?
