Keeping the buffers the same across test runs gives later invocations
the advantage since they access cached data. Reallocate so that all
test runs are on equal grounds.
* benchtests/bench-memcmp.c (do_test): Call realloc_buf for
every test run.
Switch the string benchmarks to using bench-timing.h instead
of hp-timing.h directly. This allows the string benchmarks to
be run usefully on architectures such as ARM that do not have
support for hp-timing.h.
In order to do this the tests have been changed from timing each
individual call and picking the lowest execution time recorded to
timing a number of calls and taking the mean execution time.
ChangeLog:
