And for this the starting point should be what has been requested,
i.e. preprocessed source + gcc options + gcc version and some hints what
actually misbehaves (with the , "+m" (*regs) change reverted)
in gcc bugzilla. Only with that we can actually look at what has been
happening, see whether it is the tree optimizations or RTL and which one
makes a difference.
If I've missed a PR about this I apologize.
