This is one of those cases where GCC changes what code it accepts based on how
its optimizer evolves.  It will basically accept any builtin_prefetch as long
as the GIMPLE level optimizers are able to eliminate it, and does the checking
after the full optimizer pass runs.  A better way to do this is with macros and
with __builtin_choose_expr. __builtin_choose_expr( __builtin_constant_p, ...)
is guaranteed to not evaluate the subexpression that is not chosen.

The user should change their code, sorry.
