I will always support the cleaner solution. If this can be worked
around in the dynamic linker, that's where it should go. This has the
advantage of not hosing up static stuff, and leaves the possibility open
to implement clean per-architecture implementations in the future. I
have a feeling glibc does it their way in the (misguided) name of being
easier to maintain across platforms... but I'd rather have the 'right'
code.
