(Catching up ...)
The maths looked reasonable. Did you have a version of the patch for
review?
My only other thought is that a simple set of tests could be good.
However it's not worth having tests that only test if __builtin*
functions are correct (hopefully GCC is already testing that). So
tests would have to check the fallback macros are correct, even if
they are not used on the current platform.
