That's a reasonable suggestion. We may also want to add the ability to emit a helper function to handle the full range instead of calling the compiler-rt function when -ffreestanding has been used.

Are you aware of the PR that @jcranmer-intel posted to add intrinsics for complex multiplication and division (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/68742)? That would allow us to move this problem out of the front end, which seems good.
