[PATCH] remove unneeded len variable from SPU strlen code


Jeff -

Can you please apply?

Get rid of len variable in strlen code.

This does not change the size or speed of the code for -O2 (it does for
-O1), but makes the source a bit simpler to read.

newlib/ChangeLog:

2008-02-11 Patrick Mansfield <patmans@us.ibm.com>

	* libc/machine/spu/strlen.c: Remove the len variable and unneeded
	  calculation of its value.
