I was poking around Ard's comment on that -DRISCV_EFI to try and figure
out what it was doing, but I think this is the bigger issue. I haven't
benchmarked anything, but my guess is that turning off support for these
builtin routines will outweigh the faster outline implementations of
these routines. I don't have any benchmarks to prove that, but in
general compilers are pretty smart about handling these builtin routines
in the common cases and deferring that to runtime is probably the wrong
option.
I haven't looked all that closely at this patch set. Is there some
reason it's necessary to disable the builtin handling? If not then my
guess is it's better to leave that enabled unless some benchmarks show
otherwise (and I don't know of any Zb* hardware to test against).
