I also don't like keying off the name.  Maybe the SimplifyLibcalls pass
could turn calls to math functions ("sin") into calls to llvm intrinsics
("llvm.sin"), which would concentrate this kind of thing in one place.

Ciao,

Duncan.

PS: I guess that would also mean that there is no need for llvm-gcc
to generate the llvm intrinsics: it would happen automagically.
