(a) do we want the statement version or the expression version?
(b) do we want "use the glibc one, with same-semantics version for
compatibility", or do we want "we have our own thing"?

I would have voted for following glibc, except that it does
that cast-to-long thing, which is incorrect behaviour when
long is 32 bits and the return value from the function being
tested is 64 bits.
