I would prefer to do this.  I think we should be doing just a tad
more work in "no optimization" mode, primarily in terms of getting
rid of unreachable code.

Drepper has a one-line <tgmath.h> test case that expands to an
unconditional branch around 46K of code.  With optimization, the
function is 3 instructions long.

Seems to me there's no excuse for such nonsense.
