All of them.  You have to provide all C library functions you use;
there is no guarantee that GCC will inline any of them.  Builtin
functions like this are purely an optimisation, and the compiler
makes choices based on if the tradeoffs involved make the inlining
worthwhile.  With -Os, it won't inline much, but it will still do
some.
