Which is weird since nothing seems to have changed related to it.

I also can't find mem_clr.c being compiled, while it used to be.

It used to have:
# CPUID module collects small commonly used assembler snippets
CPUID_OBJ= mem_clr.o

Which really doesn't make sense to me, and it's not doing that
anymore in the latest version.
