That’ll be fun should the compiler decide to insert a call to
fabs() at the call site instead, which it’d be allowed to do ☺

Stories of compilers doing that abound… IIRC it was the compiler
recognising the implementation pattern of memcpy and replacing
that by a call to memcpy… in some libc’s that was not careful to
use -ffreestanding memcpy implementation.
