If this is about e.g. 2011-09-14 Ulrich Drepper <drep...@gmail.com> * sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/bits/mathinline.h (__MATH_INLINE): Use __extern_always_inline. Define lrint{f,} and llrint{f,} for 64-bit and in some situations for 32-bit. then I'd say these inlines are the wrong direction, gcc (tried 4.6/trunk only) has lrint{,f,l} builtin, and for -ffast-math it will optimize it into cvtsd2siq etc. (both for -m64 and for -m32 -msse2 -mfmath=sse). It will be handled as const, and furthermore gcc will constant fold it (lrint (7.5) will be resolved at compile time). Jakub
