Some of the C library string functions have an unknown provenance.
Reimplement all such functions to avoid potential licensing
uncertainty.
Remove the inline-assembler versions of strlen(), memswap(), and
strncmp(); these save a minimal amount of space (around 40 bytes in
total) and are not performance-critical.

[string] Use 64-bit registers in assembly memswap() on x86_64
An assembly version of memswap() is in an x86 word-length-agnostic
header file, but it used 32-bit registers to store pointers, leading
to memory errors responding to ARP queries on 64-bit systems.

[x86_64] Add support for compilation as an x86_64 binary
Currently the only supported platform for x86_64 is EFI.
Building an EFI64 gPXE requires a version of gcc that supports
__attribute__((ms_abi)). This currently means a development build of
gcc; the feature should be present when gcc 4.4 is released.
In the meantime; you can grab a suitable gcc tree from
git://git.etherboot.org/scm/people/mcb30/gcc/.git
