gcc defines an intrinsic called __builtin_clrsb which counts the number of extra sign bits on a number. This is equivalent to counting the number of leading zeros on a positive number or the number of leading ones on a negative number and subtracting one from the result. Since we can't count leading ones we need to invert negative numbers to count zeros.
This patch will cause the builtin to be expanded inline while gcc uses a call to a function like clrsbdi2 that is implemented in libgcc. But this is similar to what we already do for popcnt. And I don't think compiler-rt supports clrsbdi2.
