I've committed the attached patch on behalf of David Wohlferd, who has
no commit access. It was originally proposed here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-05/msg01365.html
After reviewing that thread, I think the change is conservatively
correct, and since it's a partial revert of one of David's own previous
patches no further approval should be needed to check it in.
