As observed in commit 082cedb ("[build] Fix __libgcc attribute for
recent gcc versions"), recent versions of gcc have changed the
semantics of -mrtd as applied to the implicit arithmetic functions.
It is possible for tests to succeed even if our assumptions about
gcc's interpretation of -mrtd are incorrect. In particular, if gcc
chooses to utilise a frame pointer in the calling function, then it
can tolerate a temporarily incorrect stack pointer (since the stack
pointer will shortly afterwards be restored from the frame pointer
anyway).
Add tests designed specifically to check that our implementations of
the implicit arithmetic functions manipulate the stack pointer as
expected by gcc.
The effect of these tests can be observed by temporarily reverting
commit 082cedb ("[build] Fix __libgcc attribute for recent gcc
versions"): without this fix in place, the tests will fail on gcc 4.7
and later.
