[Bug tree-optimization/20231] New: missed optimization of loop IV modulus

Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-apple-darwin7.7.0
Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --with-threads=posix
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.0 20050226 (experimental)

Command line: /usr/local/bin/gcc -O3 -mcpu=7400 -mtune=7400 
-fdump-tree-optimized -c 
mod_loop.c

Code:
void mod_loop(unsigned char *array, int len, unsigned char repeat)
{
        unsigned char i;
        for (i = 0; i < len; i++) array[i] = i%repeat;
}

void mod_loop2(unsigned char *array, int len, unsigned char repeat)
{
        unsigned char i,i2=0;
        for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {array[i] = i2++; if (i2 == repeat) i2 = 0;}
}

Although the two functions are equivalent and mod_loop2 is better (avoiding an 
expensive divide), GCC 
doesn't transform the first into the second.
