The older compilers did not look to see if the condition turned into true (or false) for every case, 
the patch changed it so it would look to see if the condition turned into true (false) always.
Here is the link to the patch which caused this: <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-04/
msg01547.html>.
It did not find if the code was dead at all (so it is not a regression in that sense).
