If I understand correctly, both memchr and memset are part of ANSI
C89, which most modules in gnulib (e.g., strnlen and xalloc) assume.
If _applications_ need to support non-C89 platforms, they must
manually add modules like memchr and memset to make the platform
compatible enough with C89 to allow other C89 modules to work.

So I believe they are fine.
