Goes away with -fno-tree-pre.  The thing is, PRE calls scev_finalize.  But
before loop optimizing, especially estimate_numbers_of_iterations, which calls
estimate_numbers_of_iterations_loop, SCEV should be initialized.  Or at least
estimate_numbers_of_iterations_loop should be guarded by if (scev_initialized_p
()) as on other places.  SCEV is normally initialized in tree_ssa_loop_init,
but only if number_of_loops > 1.

  if (number_of_loops () <= 1)
    return 0;

  scev_initialize ();

Would it make sense to always initialize SCEV, i.e.:
