Indeed, that's one point. However, there isn't only i386 to cause problems, also old Sparc. And targets which *may* have builtins but are simply not implemented, for one reason or another. And situations at the border, e.g., hppa. Really, we want a *uniform* way to call the builtins from the library. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24692
