--- Comment #3 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
So if we look at `orl     $-1, %eax`. This will create a dependency on the
instruction that modified eax last.
This means there is an false dependency since the result does not really
depends on the previous value but the way the decoder inside the processor
works, it does not know that (just yet). So there is a trade off for a small
speedup vs a small size increase. -Oz does not do that small trade off and
always does for size.
