Surprised, I verified this with the debugger.  On my x86, the entire program is:

(gdb) disass
Dump of assembler code for function main:
   0x080483b4 <+0>:	push   %ebp
   0x080483b5 <+1>:	mov    %esp,%ebp
   0x080483b7 <+3>:	mov    $0x1,%eax
   0x080483bc <+8>:	pop    %ebp
   0x080483bd <+9>:	ret
End of assembler dump.
(gdb)

Pretty much identical to false(1).  Not much danger there.
