The problem is that the expression for the index in p(p) gets
correctly identified as a variable in -m32 but becomes a function in
-m64.  The latter causes  need_tmp to be set, which than "corrects"
this problem.

I have a patch for PR33749 but will have to fix the above first,
otherwise it will lurk undetected and get us in other ways.  I wonder
how often unnecessary temporaries are created in -m64?

Cheers
