I set the bug back to unconfirmed after I noticed that, in my opinion, 
there can be more optimization done.

I didn't realize that the SC had no control over Bugzilla.  Unless there 
was something I missed, all what the web site said was:

All I can now say is:

If no one on the GCC team wants to fully investigate my bug, then 
there's nothing I can do about the bug except to implement the fix in my 
own code.

This appeal started up over misunderstandings between Andrew Pinski, Ian 
Lance Taylor, and I.  I felt that Ian Lance Taylor agreed with me prior 
to submitting the bug to the bug tracker, and so, felt humiliated by 
Andrew Pinski's comments.  When Ian Lance Taylor stepped in, he made the 
misunderstanding obvious to me, and so, I did what I could to see if gcc 
was performing optimizations as much as possible.

This appeal is now dead.  Let's get on with our projects, regardless if 
my bug report will ever be turned into a bug fix.
