I think defaulting to the gnu ('/' means division) behavior is the right thing
as well.

Note that the present behavior does *not* match solaris, since \/ does not allow
division, as the solaris manual says it should.  Therefore, the present default
is nonstandard in every way, and it is difficult to see why it should be
retained over defaulting to at least one standard behavior, and defaulting to
Linux/x86 standard would certainly help other libraries to port (I reworked
every assembly file in ATLAS to work around this bug a couple of years ago).
