Comment(by akim.demaille@…):

 Yes.  I don't know exactly when it was introduced, but for instance in
 http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.1/changes.html the following sentence shows that
 it already exists:

 {{{
 Some built-in functions have been fortified to protect them against
 various buffer overflow (and format string) vulnerabilities. Compared to
 the mudflap bounds checking feature, the safe builtins have far smaller
 overhead. This means that programs built using safe builtins should not
 experience any measurable slowdown.
