[Bug target/21788] New: [x86_64] Wrong Code When Taking Address of Argument

[evandro at yahoo dot com]

Using -O2 or greater, when taking the address of an input argument results in
the wrong code.  For example:

int foo (double d)
{
  int *p = (int *) &d;

  return (*p);
}

With -O2 results in:

foo:
        movq    -8(%rsp), %eax
        ret

With -O1 results in:

foo:
        movsd   %xmm0, -8(%rsp)
        movq    -8(%rsp), %eax
        ret
