According to Keith Thompson on 8/24/2009 11:57 AM:
> "man memset" shows the following synopsis for the memset function:
> 
>     #include <string.h>
>     void *memset(const void *DST, int C, size_t LENGTH);
> 
> The "const" on the first parameter is incorrect.

Indeed.  However, this was already fixed in newlib on 2008-05-27, so it
will be corrected the next time someone rebuilds the man pages.
