I'd put the standard reference you cite in a comment before the check. Does this change the module format in an incompatible way, i.e. does this require a module format version bump? What happens when we read an existing module that names an intrinsic? Without bumping the module version, we'd run into the same issue as before, don't we? If we did not bump the module version yet for gcc-11 then i would suggest to defer the patch for gcc-12 and bump then. Even if we'd skip reading existing intrinsic now, we'd break interop with older compiler versions if we would stop writing them without bumping the module format, i think? > Regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
