Some of the names can vary by platform, for example ARM sometimes has
__aeabi_memcpy instead of memcpy

I think it says exactly the opposite: (7.1.2p3):

    "If the program removes (with #undef) any macro definition of an
identifier in the first group listed above, the behavior is
undefined."

Incidentally, I don't think anyone's mentioned that "-ffreestanding"
will probably inhibit the intrinsics substantially if that's what
you're after (technically, it's probably a compiler extension that it
gives them back to the user, but everyone does it as far as I know).

Cheers.

Tim.
