If GCC is working according to the documentation, then not inside of
musl at the moment. These inlinings happen when a builtin instrinsic
is lowered into an assembler instruction, and by default, fabs* is
recognized as a builtin. But not when building musl, because musl builds
with -ffreestanding, which includes -fno-builtin.

Rich has stated he wants to work around that with an
implementation-internal header file that defines macros such as

#define fabs(x) __builtin_fabs(x)

But as far as I can tell, this hasn't happened yet.

Ciao,
