I'm intrigued, gcc normally compiler that quite well.
The very similar (from arch/arc):
	return (~sum - rol32(sum, 16)) >> 16;
is slightly better on most architectures.
(Especially if the ~sum and rol() can be executed together.)

The only odd archs I saw were sparc32 (carry flag bug no rotate)
and arm (barrel shifter on all instructions).

It is better than the current asm for a lot of archs including x64.
