They always have been - I've fixed 50+ different bugs exposed by simple
testsuite executing each individual intrincisc with few diferent args,
so I would not brother about this on the 3.2.  3.3 is different issue
and should be the first GCC where intrincisc are generaly usable.  I
hope.

Will look into this in the detail this evening, now I have about -10
minutes of time.  Thanks!
