This is a good point, but I don't think compiler-rt is the right place
for it, as not many buildbots test them, and that's not *really* a
compiler-rt issue.

The test-suite is probably the best place for that, but we'd have to
create a lot of platform specific tests and make sure all of them have
the exact same output, as our lnt infrastructure is not able to cope
with platform-specific output.

Another way is to get the hardware manufacturers themselves (like ARM)
to run exhaustion tests before commit. But with the ACLE being a new
thing, I'm not sure they got that far yet. I'll keep that in mind and
request some proof of extensive coverage before approval, if adding
tests is not possible due to our own infrastructure problems.

cheers,
