and these options:

For the attached source, gcc generates good code for global variable
assignment:
_foo0:
        subl    $12, %esp
        movl    _b, %eax
        movl    %eax, _a
        addl    $12, %esp
        ret

but uses byte copies for pointer assignment:
_foo1:
        subl    $12, %esp
        movl    %ebx, 4(%esp)
        movl    %esi, 8(%esp)
        movl    20(%esp), %eax
        movl    16(%esp), %edx
        movzbl  (%eax), %esi
        movzbl  1(%eax), %ebx
        movzbl  2(%eax), %ecx
        movzbl  3(%eax), %eax
        movb    %cl, 2(%edx)
        movb    %al, 3(%edx)
        movb    %bl, 1(%edx)
        movl    %esi, %eax
        movb    %al, (%edx)
        movl    4(%esp), %ebx
        movl    8(%esp), %esi
        addl    $12, %esp
        ret

Using either -Os or -fno-tree-sra fixes it.
