I don't know. I guess 3.4. Replacing all {0} by memset in libfaad
resulted in quite a speedup.
And actually there might be similar issues with even (IIRC) 4.3 on ARM
due to gcc clobbering struct alignment somewhere on the way down,
but I only know that this can cause issues with struct assignment
vs. memcpy in very specific cases (the assignment would become a
memcpy call, while the memcpy would be inlined).
