[Bug optimization/13472] [3.3 Regression] optimizer generates code to store data in const int, resulting in a segfault

Until early January, bugfixes on the 3.3 branch had been very localized, either
in a specific back-end or front-end or optimization pass that can be disabled. 
Then, suddendly, central parts of the compiler that are run at any optimization
levels started to be touched:
- I think Richard's patch has a potential effect on every memory pattern in
every back-end,
- Joern's reload patch is... a reload patch and, judging by him asking you to
put his other reload patch (fix for PR 11864) to the branch, this latter patch
having a serious impact on the back-end (Alpha, PA, MIPS and SPARC at least),
I'm not sure that he fully evaluated the impact of this patch,
- Jan's patch deals with a very hot topic: table jump removal.  We have been
fighting this problem for a long time and I was under the impression it is more
or less under control on the 3.3 branch.

> Do you see similar disaster on branch?

No.
