On second thought, I might as well get you the BSD one. It's certainly
better than nothing, and if allowed, we can replace it later. I'm not
sure if the entry labels are correct for newlib, but they look right,
and just in case, I left the explicit entry code in (commented out though).

Jay Monkman	    The truth knocks on the door and you say "Go away, I'm 
                    looking for the truth," and so it goes away. Puzzling.

 * This is one fun bit of code ...

 * code e.g. Iron Maiden
 *
 * For anyone attempting to understand it :
 *
 * The core code is implemented here with simple stubs for memcpy()
 * memmove() and bcopy().
 *
 * All local labels are prefixed with Lmemcpy_
 * Following the prefix a label starting f is used in the forward copy code
 * while a label using b is used in the backwards copy code
 * The source and destination addresses determine whether a forward or
 * backward copy is performed.
 * Separate bits of code are used to deal with the following situations
 * for both the forward and backwards copy.
 * unaligned source address
 * unaligned destination address
 * Separate copy routines are used to produce an optimised result for each
 * of these cases.
 * The copy code will use LDM/STM instructions to copy up to 32 bytes at
 * a time where possible.
 *
 * Note: r12 (aka ip) can be trashed during the function along with
 * r0-r3 although r0-r2 have defined uses i.e. src, dest, len through out.
 * Additional registers are preserved prior to use i.e. r4, r5 & lr
 *
 * Apologies for the state of the comments ;-)
