How is that okay, isn't coreutils GPL-licensed?
Well, I only took inspiration in that code, I haven't copied it.
But this idea of using memcmp() is quite old and described for instance

Do you want to switch to something else instead? If so, how can we make
sure it's not already somewhere in a code with incompatible license?
