  Previously, they were executed also with eg. LE. It doesn't change the
  generated code, though, because this is optimized away somewhere else.
  
To me, it seems like a bad idea to intensionally generate redundant
insns with the hope they will be optimized away later.

  How about this patch, which does the same as yours but seems clearer:

You comment is better, and surely moving the CONST_INT test
into the main if() is clearer.  But I would argue that my minimalist
change should go in as the fix for this PR.

Any cleanup should be checked in separately, and only on main and
3.4 branches.
