[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] binutils-native: do_compile failed on Ubuntu 12.10

binutils-native do_compile failed on Ubuntu 12.10:
...
error: call to '__warn_memset_zero_len' declared with attribute warning:
memset used with constant zero length parameter; this could be due to
transposed parameters [-Werror]
...

When compiling binutils-native, option "--enable-targets=all" makes
oasys.c compiled and option "-Werror" makes warning treated as error,
so both of the options make the compile warning of oasys.c cause
binutils-native compile failed.

The warning caused by /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/string3.h:82
in Ubuntu 12.10, here is the code:
__extern_always_inline void *
__NTH (memset (void *__dest, int __ch, size_t __len))
{
  if (__builtin_constant_p (__len) && __len == 0
      && (!__builtin_constant_p (__ch) || __ch != 0))
    {
      __warn_memset_zero_len ();
      return __dest;
    }
  return __builtin___memset_chk (__dest, __ch, __len, __bos0 (__dest));
}

In oasys.c, invoking memset without checking len nonzero caused the
warning.

Add len nonzero checking when invoke memset in oasys.c to remove the
compile warning could fix the problem.
