After quite some pondering over this and other related bugs I propose the following for GCC 7 which tames down PRE a bit (back to levels of GCC 6). Technically it's the wrong place to fix this, we do have measures in place during elimination but they are not in effect at -O2. For GCC 8 I'd like to be more aggressive there but that would require to enable predictive commoning at -O2 (with some limits to its unrolling) to not lose optimization opportunities.
The other option is to ignore this issue and postpone the solution to GCC 8. Bootstrapped / tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. Any preference?
