This was the warning(shown for __aeabi_memcpy, __aeabi_memcpy4 and __aeabi_memcpy8):
ArmPkg/Library/CompilerIntrinsicsLib/memcpy.c:42:6: error: '__aeabi_memcpy8' alias between functions of incompatible types 'void(void
*, const void *, size_t)' {aka 'void(void *, const void *, unsigned int)'} and 'void *(void *, const void *, size_t)' {aka 'void
*(void *, const void *, unsigned int)'} [-Werror=attribute-alias]
void __aeabi_memcpy8(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ArmPkg/Library/CompilerIntrinsicsLib/memcpy.c:19:7: note: aliased declaration here
void *__memcpy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n)

The problem is the different return type(void vs void*).
This commit adds a wrapper '__aeabi___memcpy' with a void return value.

Thanks Michael.

Would this fix the problem as well?

Hi Ard,

yes that fixes the problem too and looks much better, thx!
