I think we should move -fno-allocation-dce to the middle-end and disable
malloc/free pair elision when set (not sure about stack-save/restore
pairs) instead.
Btw, did you check what happens when doing new/delete without nothrow()
and either external or internal EH? I think optimizing is OK in all
cases, but I guess EH edges will prevent the optimization?
