Summary:                    Compiler Error, illegal lvalue
Description: 
Using Snapshot from 1.8.2006:

uClibc/libc/string/powerpc/string.c: line 212 (and more)
orginal:
 do {
                *--(unsigned char *)tmp_to = *--(unsigned char *)from;
        } while (--rem);
*Gives an illegal lvalue error with gcc 4.1.1

workaround:

 do {
                --tmp_to;
                --from;
                *(unsigned char *)tmp_to = *(unsigned char *)from;
        } while (--rem);
