One solution might be to post-pone unifying edges between the same
pair of basic blocks in one or both of them contain instructions until
we finally run commit_edge_insertions.

There's already code to handle this in the jump bypassing pass, as
redirect_edge_and_branch_force may introduce new basic blocks; the
variable "bypass_last_basic_block" keeps track of the last basic
block index when we started and therefore the set of original basic
blocks for which our data flow is valid.


I'd be interested to know if you think it would be easy or easier to
split edges as we go, creating new basic blocks and inserting insns
there, rather than inserting instructions on edges whilst we're changing
the CFG?

WindRiver's compilers, for example, do more aggressive jump bypassing
than GCC currently does.  However, we can achieve the same effects by
either running several iterations of jump bypassing and/or incrementally
updating GCSE's data flow analysis as we redirect edges.
