I see what is happening. It is a true warning that happens due to optimizing order differences. The place we warn does not know that f is zero the first time through the loop. Since -Os disables copy headers, we don't get a different copy of the header. So the code does not optimize away the header. This is where I am going to say there is a false positive due to optimizing. I want to close it as won't fix because if we change the value of l to be 0xfe, then we always warn.
