Uhm, you have two "e"s in there.

Or do it glibc-style

void *memchr(const void *s, unsigned char c, size_t n)
{
	...
	for (; p + 3 < e; p += 4) {
		if (c == p[0])
			return (void *)&p[0];
		if (c == p[1])
			return (void *)&p[1];
		if (c == p[2])
			return (void *)&p[2];
		if (c == p[3])
			return (void *)&p[3];
	}
	... /* check the rest */
}
