[Libclc-dev] architecture-specific builtins and OpenCL

grep reverse ./include/llvm/IR/IntrinsicsCogE.td ./tools/clang/include/clang/Basic/BuiltinsCogE.def
./include/llvm/IR/IntrinsicsCogE.td:def int_coge_reverse: GCCBuiltin<"__builtin_coge_reverse">,
./tools/clang/include/clang/Basic/BuiltinsCogE.def:BUILTIN(__builtin_coge_reverse,     "ULLiULLi", "nc")

unsigned long (uint64_t) as the input and result.  Removing the 'kernel' keyword does not improve matters; the following .cl file also crashes
void fred(unsigned long *in, unsigned long* where, int id)
{
    where[id] = __builtin_coge_reverse(in[id]);
}

(I did not use any of the #pragmas or include <CL/cl.h>)

Regards,
