I tried to write small c program and -ffreestanding works well. After applying -ffreestanding memset disappears from S.
Unfortunately this is not true for "my" code. I created -E version of my code and uploaded it at [1].

clang version is trunk 129857. Command line is: 

# clang  -ccc-host-triple arm-unknown-freebsd  -O2 -ffreestanding -g -c inflate.c -o inflate.o

AFAIK clang -S doesn't intermix source code with assembly.
