Would it make sense to prepend: -fno-builtin when gcc is detected ?

Ref:
-fno-builtin
-fno-builtin-function
Don't recognize built-in functions that do not begin with
__builtin_ as prefix.
GCC normally generates special code to handle certain
built-in functions more efficiently; for instance, calls to "alloca"
may become single instructions that adjust the stack directly, and
calls to "memcpy" may become
inline copy loops. The resulting code is often both
smaller and faster, but since the function calls no longer appear as
such, you cannot set a breakpoint on those calls, nor can you change
the behavior of the
functions by linking with a different library. In
addition, when a function is recognized as a built-in function, GCC
may use information about that function to warn about problems with
calls to that function, or to
generate more efficient code, even if the resulting code
still contains calls to that function. For example, warnings are
given with -Wformat for bad calls to "printf", when "printf" is built
in, and "strlen" is known
not to modify global memory.
With the -fno-builtin-function option only the built-in
function function is disabled. function must not begin with
__builtin_. If a function is named this is not built-in in this
version of GCC, this option is
ignored. There is no corresponding -fbuiltin-function
option; if you wish to enable built-in functions selectively when
using -fno-builtin or -ffreestanding, you may define macros such as:
#define abs(n) __builtin_abs ((n))
#define strcpy(d, s) __builtin_strcpy ((d), (s))
