(1) The prototypes for memset etc are wrong or at least conflict with
the gcc builtins

(2) It wouldn't link, complaining about the absence of __gcc_main. I
really don't understand this one. I changed the name of "main" to
"kernel_main" and it worked after that. I had this discussion with
some netbsd people from tech-kern and they didn't understand it
either. I figured I'd report it when I came to merge the Psion port as
I'd have a lot of other things to report then as well ;-)
