I have the same assembly output.  Inlined __strleneq() ends up being
faster on my system than GCC's strlen() when I changed all calls where
checkEquals equaled false.  I believe you that it should be faster with
GCC's version, but it is not ending up that way on my Athlon XP and
Pentium 4 systems running FreeBSD 6.2.

There is now a sysenv-strlen.c that I tested the timings.c program in
regressions/environment directory.  It keeps showing __strleneq() to be
faster.
