ARM supports clz and ctz directly and both operations have well-defined
results for zero. There is no disadvantage in performance to using the
defined-at-zero versions of llvm.ctlz/cttz intrinsics. We're running into
ARM-specific code written with the assumption that __builtin_clz(0) == 32,
even though that value is technically undefined. The code is failing now
because of llvm optimizations that are taking advantage of the undef
behavior (specifically svn r147255). There's nothing wrong with that
optimization on x86 where any incorrect assumptions about __builtin_clz(0)
will quickly be exposed. For ARM, though, optimizations based on that undef
behavior are likely to cause subtle bugs. Other targets with defined-at-zero
clz/ctz support may want to override the default behavior as well.

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).
