Compiling 

void foo (unsigned *, unsigned *, unsigned);
unsigned *baz (unsigned) __attribute__ ((const));

struct COST
{
  unsigned *cost;

  unsigned maxWeakConstraintLevel;
};

unsigned * bar(struct COST *c)
{
  unsigned *valp;
  if(c->maxWeakConstraintLevel == 0)
    valp =0;
  else
    {
      valp = baz (4 * 33);
      foo (valp, c->cost, c->maxWeakConstraintLevel * sizeof(unsigned));
    }
  return valp;
}

with -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer on x86 generates:

bar:
        subl    $28, %esp
        movl    %edi, 24(%esp)
        movl    32(%esp), %edi
        movl    %esi, 20(%esp)
        xorl    %esi, %esi            <- [1] this should not be here
        movl    %ebx, 16(%esp)
        movl    4(%edi), %ebx
        testl   %ebx, %ebx
        jne     .L6                 
        movl    %esi, %eax             <- it should be before this instruction
        movl    16(%esp), %ebx
        movl    20(%esp), %esi
        movl    24(%esp), %edi
        addl    $28, %esp
        ret
        .p2align 4,,7
.L6:
        movl    $132, (%esp)
        call    baz
        movl    %eax, %esi         <- %esi is not used on this branch, 
                                    so [1] is partially dead code

The instruction [1] is put there by the if-conversion pass, when compiling
with -fno-ifconversion [1] appears only on one branch. 

gcc-3.3.3 does not have this problem, so this is a regression.
