At least on Linux, libgcc(_s) is often used as RT implementation.  I
don't know what XLC is doing, so no idea about the AIX side of things.

The C version of builtins should be pretty portable, but some compiler
and target specific changes might be necessary. Assembler generally
assumes either ELF or MachO though, some parts might work with PE-COFF.
