It was encountered while doing `make`.
The `make efi32` is just to faster reproduce the build error.

I asked that because I am missing 'memcmp.o' in the directory
that matches the error message and that has a 'memcpy.o'
with a timestamp of my build attempt.


What I meanwhile found is this 

$ ls -Gl com32/lib/mem{cpy,cmp}.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 stappers  247 Jan  3 15:28 com32/lib/memcmp.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 stappers 2728 Jan  4 14:15 com32/lib/memcmp.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 stappers  560 May 21 10:08 com32/lib/memcpy.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 stappers 1216 Jan  4 14:15 com32/lib/memcpy.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 stappers 2092 May 21 10:08 com32/lib/memcpy.S


Things that look strange to me:

 * The .o files are from Januari. I would expect Juni because
   I did a `make spotless`
 * Source files 'memcpy.c' and 'memcpy.S' are newer
   then the object file 'memcpy.o'


Am I on the right track to fix the build error
