Excel's documentation for GCD() states that Excel truncates to integers before
applying, this approach makes sense to me.
Zero shouldn't be the answer unless both a and b are zero: see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_common_divisor.
Excel also fails on negative integers, but GCD seems well defined for negative
integers. However, Calc will return negative results sometimes; I'm not sure
that's a good idea. I'd suggest always returning the positive GCD, regardless of
the signs of the arguments.
