Description:
The strings assembly code is not portable.  It uses nonstandard pseudo-ops.

See Bug#18470, which makes it possible to fall back to the C code when such failures exist.

How to repeat:
Compile strings/strings-x86.s under OS X on x86 and (perhaps) Solaris on x86.

Suggested fix:
Rewrite the stings code.
