There is __has_builtin(), which would be cleaner in this case, IMHO.

Both compilers ship __rdtscp in ia32intrin.h header (gcc also __rdtscp, 
which clang doesn't need). I was considering something like this inside 
our intrin.h:

#if defined(__i386__) || defined(__x86_64__)

# include <x86intrin.h>

#endif

I believe that this should solve your problem. This rises some 
compatibility concerns, but I think it may be fine. It's shipped with 
compilers themselves for all platforms (not by mingw-w64).
