Correct code is clearly more important. So, the patch is OK, but you
should XFAIL the testcase, and enter a PR about it. Since the RVO is
new (on the 3.1 branch) there's no regression here relative to any
released version of GCC.

Yes. Ideally, the RVO would work on the CFG -- although we should
see whether or not that will really buy us much in the way of
additional performance before bothering.
