Also let me note, that on my PowerPC computer the following program
works without problem (AIX6.1, 32 and 64 bit, gcc-4.8.3 compiler),
(I _would_ be angry if it didn't work)

/* memcpy_test.c */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

static int Test1 (void *to, const void *from, size_t len);

int main (void)
{
     char buff [64];

     Test1 (NULL, NULL, 0);
     Test1 (buff, NULL, 0);
     Test1 (buff, NULL, 64);

     return 0;
}

static int Test1 (void *to, const void *from, size_t len)
{
     void *p = memcpy (to, from, len);

     printf ("(%p,%p,%d) returned %p\n",
         to, from, (int)len, p);

     return p!=NULL;
}

(0,0,0) returned 0
(ffffffffffff390,0,0) returned ffffffffffff390
(ffffffffffff390,0,64) returned ffffffffffff390

Note: the last one fails on linux, as address zero is not readable.
