Even if gcc were that smart, this construction would still loop over the string twice, once for the initial strlen() call and then the open-coded loop. Let's simply use strreplace() instead.
Patch looks fine to me, but there's no strreplace in in Linus' tree. Dependencies like that should be noted in the patch. Please send followup patches like this when the main patch is in Linus tree, and I'd be happy to apply it.
