--- Comment #3 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
__builtin_ctz (0) is undefined behavior, anytime you invoke UB, all bets are
off.
The compiler optimizes based on the assumption that UB does not happen.
So, as all valid __builtin_ctz calls return values from 0 to 31, the compiler
does optimize away __builtin_ctz (x) == 32 into 0.
