No, they're from a Linux system which uses glibc 2.19. The
optimization will simply be not used on implementations that don't
meet a certain standard (see my AC_TRY_RUN test program). I'm
reasonably confident that that test program will pass on most systems.
Just not Mac OSX. The optimization is never used on Windows and 32-bit
systems for other reasons.
