In the three lines mentioned memcpy is not used directly, but there are 
pass-by-value semantics used. As a consequence it seems that newer versions of 
gcc try to use memcpy (from stdlib) to create the duplicate structures.

I fixed the problem in my environment by adding the following code to the end 
of stage2/char_io.c:

#undef memcpy

void *
memcpy (void *to, const void *from, int len)
{
    return grub_memmove (to, from, len);
}

There are most likely more elegant ways to resolve this issue.
