Emit memmove, not memcpy, for structure copies; this is unfortunately
required for correctness in cases of copying a struct to itself or to
an overlapping struct (itself for cases like *a = *a, and overlapping
is possible with unions).
Hopefully, this won't end up being a perf issue; LLVM *should* be able
to optimize memmove to memcpy in a lot of cases, and for small copies
the generated code *should* be mostly comparable. (In reality, LLVM
is currently horrible at optimizing memmove, but that's a bug, not a
fundamental issue.)
gcc currently generates wrong code; that's
