I agree that this is too risky to backport, but I disagree with the decision
not to fix it on the trunk.  We have plenty of time to watch for performance
regressions and/or bugs it introduces there, and even if this bug is only hit
by machine generated code, it would be helpful to all the people that try to
report bugs against gcc if they wouldn't have to analyze and then ignore
similar cases every few days because we chose to never fix it on the gcc side.
