I see what is happening.  It is a true warning that happens due to optimizing
order differences.  The place we warn does not know that f is zero the first
time through the loop.  Since -Os disables copy headers, we don't get a
different copy of the header.  So the code does not optimize away the header.

This is where I am going to say there is a false positive due to optimizing.  I
want to close it as won't fix because if we change the value of l to be 0xfe,
then we always warn.
