Sadly, the bug is even more severe.

Even something as simple as:

long double f(long double a, long double b)
{
   return a + b;
}

will be miscompiled with -O1 -ffloat-store on 64-bit.  The problem
is that the call instructions emitted lack the reg use notes so that
the compiler can see the stack frame inputs to the libcall.  Strangely,
the notes are created properly on 32-bit.

Then DSE thinks that the stack stores can be eliminated and proceeds
to kill those insns off.

Also, code generation is significantly better with -ffloat-store
enabled.  If you don't believe me, see for yourself.
