Build problems with gcc 3.4.0.

1) Building memdisk dies with this:
setup.o(.text+0x2d8): In function `get_disk_image_geometry':
~/syslinux-2.10-pre6/memdisk/setup.c:403: undefined reference to `memcmp'

Gcc does not always inline functions, even builtin ones. You need to use
-minline-all-stringops to force the behavior you want.

2) Building menu fails with this:
biosio.c: In function `getdisppage':
biosio.c:61: error: bp cannot be used in asm here

A simple patch:

3) Not really a problem but the comment at the top of bios.c about generating
x86-64 instructions isn't correct. Gcc doesn't know assembler. It's just dong
text substitutions. To get the low 8-bit form of a register name it strips the
leading "e" and the trailing "x" if any from a name and appends a "l". So,
"edx" becomes "dl" but "edi" gets mangled into "dil".
