In the following example the typecast (sign extension) from int (32bit) to long (64bit) is missing. Before the compare the signed i1 is < 0 and unsigned u2 is > 0 and this should be kept when casting to 64bit long. Same issue for long long (also 64bit). So we get correct ov=1 with gcc version <= 4.2, but wrong ov=0 with gcc version >= 4.3. This issue occurs with and without optimization.
