        <pre>Try to build:

#include <stddef.h>

int f(size_t a, size_t b) {
   ptrdiff_t x;
   return __builtin_mul_overflow(a, b, &x);
}

with clang and gcc for x86_64.

(1) GCC seems to interpret this as uint64_t x uint64_t -> uint64_t
multiplication
(2) Clang seems to widen the types and goes for int128_t instead (__muloti4).

This difference in interpretation seems to break the memory overflow checks in
GNU m4.</pre>
