Not really, as it's not a bug fix. Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert

Using memcpy() prevents the compiler from doing any checking on the types of the passed pointer parameters. Copy the structure using struct assignment instead, to increase type-safety. No change in generated code on all relevant architectures (arm/arm64/riscv/sh).
