As another datapoint, I recently built a 32-bit signed fixed-point library
of sorts
in C for flight control. This was an extremely painful process because of
the
problem of representing negative-zero in the integer bitfield using two's
compliment.
It worked, but its performance was only slightly better than the built-in
support on
one board, and about 10x slower than that built into gumstix boards...so the

performance can vary greatly.
