No, there have been versions that would recognize you trying to write a
memcpy() and replacing it with a call to memcpy(). Which is fine, unless
you are actually writing a memcpy(). That is why musl now builds with
-fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns if that is supported. Because that
was the optimizer making that decision, so it is now turned off.
