abs.3

Hello
This page shows:

"GCC handles abs() and labs() as built-in functions. GCC 3.0 also
       handles llabs() and imaxabs() as built-ins."

As GCC3 has been around for 10 years now.. should these be combined? e.g.

" GCC handles abs(), labs(), llabs() and imaxabs() as built-in functions."

There may be other man pages with similar GCC 3.0 references that
could be combined now.

Regards, Jonny

I would add "By default gcc ..." since you have a switch not to use built-in's at all.
