Sorry, my bad.  "Built-in", hyphenated, is correct as an adjective, as 
in "built-in function".  It's not clear what we're supposed to use as a 
noun, but it seems "builtin" isn't it, either.  :-S  I think that a 
couple years ago I changed a bunch of other instances to "built-in 
function" to avoid this trouble, but I won't insist on that here.
