Workaround for nim-lang#24596. I also took the liberty to disable it on all targets with GCC, since their documentation claims that it is also enabled on -Os.

Alternative to nim-lang#25067; fixes nim-lang#24596. Pros: * No codegen changes needed. * No negative changes in generated code size. * Works with all standard-conforming C compilers - conceptually, memcpy treats both structs as character types, which are compatible with all types. Cons: it's very ugly.
