None that I can remember.

You could use `make-sized-byte-string' on both of the arguments, and
then copy with `bytes-copy!'. Unless the objects are relatively long,
though, a lot of the time will be spent allocating and manipulating the
byte-string wrappers (compared to the time for copying).

How about extracting "memcpy" (or is it "_memcpy"?) from "msvcrt.dll"
under Windows?
