-  __builtin_clz is available on GCC 3.4 and above

-  Note that the clz scheme does not work and requires adjustment
-  if long type does not make use of all bits for data storage.

-  This is unlikely.  According to GNU MP (http://www.swox.com/gmp/),
-  in rare cases such as Cray, there are smaller data types that take up
-  the same space as long, but leave the higher bits silent.  Currently,
-  there are no known such cases for data type long.
