With run-time intrinsics the x86 code generation phase, including
register allocation, becomes child's play:

[It's not all that hard to generate correct x86 code. What's hard is
to generate good x86 code. Also, using someone else's register allocator,
which is what those run-time intrinsics are, is kind of cheating. -John]
