Thanks for the reference - if you have a case where this code is active 
(other than where -fno- options are used to disable GIMPLE constant 
propagation etc. artificially, although I couldn't find a suitable 
testcase even with such options), could you file a PR in Bugzilla for the 
missing GIMPLE optimization that results in this only getting optimized 
(or not, after this patch) at the RTL level?
