Nah, I see ECF_TM_PURE despite the name seems to be doing something very
different than ECF_CONST and ECF_PURE:
if (flags & ECF_PURE)
DECL_PURE_P (decl) = 1;
...
if ((flags & ECF_TM_PURE) && flag_tm)
apply_tm_attr (decl, get_identifier ("transaction_pure"));
Still, you may try to use the same ECF attributes than gcc/builtins.def..
