I think I would feel more comfortable if there was a justification of why this is allowed.
Looking at the [documentation](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Other-Builtins.html#index-_005f_005fbuiltin_005fconstant_005fp) they talk about "constant folding" and I know we diverge from gcc in a some ways here.
It also says "Any expression that has side-effects makes the function return 0" which seems inconsistent w/ this behavior.
Offline someone was saying the behavior has changed a few times on gcc's side and I don't want to be targeting a moving target without some more discussions about this.
