The library contains architecture specific versions of the clz functions
for arm and mips, but the fallback C version for other architectures is
pretty slow.

By using __builtin_clz on GCC (available since GCC 3.4), we get a
significant (20-40 %) speedup of the total running time on x86.

Speed difference: 5.1 s instead of 8.6 s for AAC-LC 128 kbit/s and
3.8 s instead of 4.9 s for HE-AACv2 32 kbit/s, on an i7.
