| y.cc:6: error: converting overloaded function `fabs' to type `double
|    (*)(double)' is ambiguous
| <internal>:6: error: candidates are: double fabs(double)
| y.cc:2: error:                 double std::fabs(double)

Yeah, this is a bug in handling the built-ins.  Roger might have
something to say on that.


This is a hot regression.
