It seems at least m68k and sparc don't have the __builtin_clz() functions:

m68k-allmodconfig (http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/8572593/):

ERROR: "__clzsi2" [lib/lz4/lz4hc_compress.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "__clzsi2" [lib/lz4/lz4_compress.ko] undefined!

gcc seems to define __builtin_clz as __clzsi2 in some architecture.
But, kernel doesn't link libgcc.a.
If kernel should use gcc's built-in function without libgcc.a,
do we need to port __clzsi2 to 'arch/*/lib/*'?

That's another option.

So far no one used __builtin_c[lt]z in generic code. We always used
__fls and __ffs.
