Indeed, confirming removal of the cp/tree.c hunk doesn't affect anything in
the testsuite, nor e.g.
enum A {
  B = 1,
  C = 2,
  D = __builtin_add_overflow_p (B, C, C)
};
int e[__builtin_add_overflow_p (B, C, C) + 1];
template <int N> int foo (int);
void
bar ()
{
  foo <__builtin_add_overflow_p (B, C, C) + 1> (0);
}
That said, builtin_valid_in_constant_expr_p is used in lots of spots, and in
various of them I see that without the change it actually sets
*non_integral_constant_expression_p = true;
or something similar, but I have no idea why it still works despite of that.

Is the patch ok for trunk without the cp/tree.c hunk?
