It would continue to be defined as-is, without direct reference
to the __builtin_bswap functions.  But you're right that the 
generic code would depend on the bswap optimization pass that
recognizes the mask/shift/or pattern and converts it to the
builtins internally.

What if we kept the ppc ifdefs, but converted the rest to the
gcc generic code?
