The function is likely to be introduced by gcc, which doesn't count much
if you would link using gcc, too - it links to the gcclib.a which contains
such stuff. If you start a program which was not compiled with gcc, however,
you will probably have this symbol missing. This may also happen because
of different gcc versions beeing used (as I would expect problems with
other __builtin_* functions otherwise).

If it doesn't make much of a problem, try to build any library which
will be installed publically using the systems native C compiler.
