Actually one definite problem I've had with __builtins is that when
you want to do something like:

qsort(&base,num,size,strcmp);

The compiler tries to inline the reference to strcmp and then bitches
rather profusely cause it doesn't like it.  Then you have to undefine the
builtin at the point of the qsort call followed by redefining it afterward
(if you want to get the benefit of ANY of the __builtin availability).

Generally...unimpressed.
