Thanks Bill. You obviously meant

fibint(n)= my(m=fibintexa(n)); if(fibonacci(m)>n,m-1,m);

which indeed performs good.


I then also made that:
fibintexa1(n)= my(sqrt_5=2*quadgen(5)-1); round(log(sqrt_5*n)/log((1+sqrt_5)/2));
fibint1(n)= my(m=fibintexa1(n)); if(fibonacci(m)>n,m-1,m);

but my goal is to avoid floating point usage, so I'm still walking. :)
