Using -O1 still works, at least for the demo program.

... RedHat's GCC snapshot "2.96" handles this case just fine.

Now, if you can isolate the relevant part of the diff between 2.95.2 and
RH 2.96...

Well, now that there is a testcase, has anyone sent this on to the relevant
gcc lists? (The CCs I saw haven't)
