Confirmed. A regression in 3.3/3.4/mainline against 2.95. Here's  
a reduced testcase: 
---------------- 
void abort (); 
 
static void compute(unsigned int u1) 
{ 
  unsigned char same_result; 
 
  signed short y_final_1; 
  signed short y_middle; 
  signed short y_final_2; 
 
  y_final_1 = (signed short)( (signed short)(u1 << 1) * 3 >> 1); 
  y_middle  =                 (signed short)(u1 << 1); 
  y_final_2 = (signed short)( y_middle * 3 >> 1); 
 
  if (y_final_1 != y_final_2) 
    abort (); 
} 
 
main() 
{ 
  compute(0x4000U); 
} 
----------------------------- 
 
Note that (0x4000<<1) is just the corner case when casted to signed int, 
since it has only the sign bit set, none of the other bits are set. We 
seem to get this wrong somehow.
