This is an example of why I keep nagging people to post the log so that we can 
see the actual messages. The warning is about mempcpy - not memcpy. The 
problem, in this case, appears to be that you're using a newer gcc compiler 
with older brltty source. In other words, the older brltty source contains code 
which was okay at that time but which the newer gcc no longer likes.

You also have a couple of other errors:

>./options.c:825:5: error: initializer element is not constant
>     {.name=WC_C("ifset"), .processor=processIfSetOperands},
>     ^

>./options.c:826:5: error: initializer element is not constant
>     {.name=WC_C("ifnotset"), .processor=processIfNotSetOperands},
>     ^

These two lines really are actual errors. Specifically, in thesee two cases, 
WC_C() should be WC_S().

Is there any particular reason that you're trying to build such old brltty 
source?
