[Bug target/37734] New: Missing optimization: gcc fails to reuse flags from already calculated expression for condition check with zero

["siarhei dot siamashka at gmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

For the following source:
/****************************************/
extern void a();

int unrolled_loop_fn(int count)
{
    while ((count -= 2) >= 0) {
        a();
        a();
    }
    if (count & 1) {
        a();
    }
}
/****************************************/

'gcc -O2 -c test.c' produces the following quite suboptimal code:
