I just found out that memcmp reverses the return value.
It returns -1 when 1 is supposed to return and vice versa.
Has anyone else noticed this, fixed it and is able to
tell me about it?
I could rebuild the memcmp code and replace it in the
library if someone could point me out how to go about, 
since I am rather new at gcc.
