I'm working on one now.  It will be cygwin-specific, though.  I'd like
to make it an inline function.

I appreciate that Earnie has detected a bottleneck but I think that
inline assembly will be the way to go.

In my tests this gives an immediate 6 - 7% performance improvement.

Regardless, I think that the newlib change is still a good idea.
