It's a good idea.

See other posting though... I think the problem is that sources
are being converted to assume C99 compliance, when FreeBSD is, in
fact, not compliant.

It would be better if this were a compliance complaint, rather
than a "-fno-builtin"; it would be best to tackle all these issues
at once, rather than one at a time over a very long time.
