GCC may generate inline copy loop to handle memcpy() function
instead of kernel defined memcpy() with -mstring or -Os.
But this inlined version of memcpy() caused an alignment interrupt
when copying from SPU local store on PS3.
(http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/cbe-oss-dev/2007-March/001348.html)
This patch deletes -mstring option on all powerpc and force -mno-string
option on Cell.
