I don't think there's such a built-in function, so yes, the inline 
function would need to use __builtin_clz.  (Even the stdc_leading_zeros 
inline functions will need to do more than just call __builtin_clz - they 
need to check for zero, since the standard functions have a defined result 
for a zero argument whereas __builtin_clz doesn't.)
