Yes. Those should be disabled for now in order to not break anything. As
soon as you've committed your patches, I'll have a look if I can
activate some of them and remove s390 specific implementations. But I
first have to check with the gcc guys, if the builtins are always
expanded correctly in various gcc versions.

Thanks.
