How should it be fixed? We might add another argument that means
check for identical bit pattern if the args are constants.
No, operand_equal_p is supposed to return 0 when comparing -0.0 to 0.0;
see the comment at the start of operand_equal_p.
Here's a proposed patch for this GCC bug. While I was fixing it
I found what appear to be other instances of the bug; this patch fixes
all the instances that I found.

Fix some confusion with IEEE minus zero.
* real.h (REAL_VALUES_IDENTICAL): New macro.
* expr.c (is_zeros_p): Don't consider -0.0 to be all zeros.
* fold-const.c (operand_equal_p): Don't consider -0.0 to be
identical to 0.0.
* tree.c (simple_cst_equal): Don't consider -0.0 to have the
same tree structure as 0.0.
* varasm.c (immed_real_const_1): Use new REAL_VALUES_IDENTICAL
macro instead of doing it by hand.
