lib/string.c: Use freestanding environment



gcc can transform the loop in a naive implementation of memset/memcpy
etc into a call to the function itself.  This optimization is enabled by
-ftree-loop-distribute-patterns.

This has been the case for a while, but gcc-10.x enables this option at
-O2 rather than -O3 as in previous versions.

Add -ffreestanding, which implicitly disables this optimization with
gcc.  It is unclear whether clang performs such optimizations, but
hopefully it will also not do so in a freestanding environment.
