I've got a patch that removes that define of __bzero as well as rename
all existing uses to memset - I'll post it soon. I think that removes the
need to define it in include/string.h as well.

I'm also working on a patch to rename all __mempcpy/__stpcpy so we no
longer need redirects to builtins for those (besides the one in include/string.h).
