I think I'd rather keep this around a leettle while longer, since it depends on C libraries, not the C compilers themselves, and on a freestanding C89 system the libraries might be dodgy. If we want to remove memcmp, we should also look at the list of C89 modules in MODULES.html.sh (assert, dummy, exit, atexit, etc.) and perhaps remove them as well. Some of them we'd have to keep (e.g., mktime, which works around many common bugs even in C99 hosts) but others could go I suppose. PS. By the way, when you remove m4/c-bs-a.m4, please don't forget to update MODULES.html.sh accordingly.
