Accordingly to:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34115
It does not work with gcc 4.1 when the builtin is returned directly at
the end of the function.
So storing the return value to a variable may fix that as well.
But I would prefer having fallback definition over working around
compiler bugs.
