[cfe-dev] Implicit declarations of builtins

[Joerg Sonnenberger]

Hi all,
I've just stumbled over a nasty surprise with the implicit prototypes
for library builtins. Consider the following input:

int main() { char *p = powl; return 0; }

This is from a configure test and expected to fail on NetBSD. Compiling
it with -O2 gives the expected 

warning: implicitly declaring C library function 'powl' with type
'long double (long double, long double)'

warning, but the undefined reference gets optimised away. Dow. Even more
nasty: -Werror=implicit-function-declaration makes it still continue.

Is this really desirable behavior?
