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.
