Another example:

int foo3(int x, int y)
{
        return (x * y) + (y * 5);
}
int foo4(int x, int y)
{
        x *= y;
        return x + (y * 5);
}

Here the generated code depends on how the constant multiply is expanded,
so that combine can do the optimization.

This is easily fixable see the patch i posted to 32120.
