I'm happy with a testcase that only fails on 4.1 - that is, I don't see why
either the code in fold is special, or why you don't need to adjust for
example tree-ssa-reassoc.c on trunk with the same logic. A testcase
would give me something to look at myself, rather than trying to
imagine what actually happens ;)
