I think that your first observation is still correct.  The ICE

../../trunk/gcc/tree-ssa-structalias.c: In function 
'get_constraint_exp_from_ssa_var':
../../trunk/gcc/tree-ssa-structalias.c:5627: internal compiler error: tree 
check: expected ssa_name, have result_decl in eliminate_tail_call, at 
tree-tailcall.c:803

is exactly because

      /* If the statement has virtual or volatile operands, fail.  */
      ann = stmt_ann (stmt);
      if (!ZERO_SSA_OPERANDS (stmt, (SSA_OP_VUSE | SSA_OP_VIRTUAL_DEFS))
          || ann->has_volatile_ops)
	return;

doesn't work as expected if w/o aliasing we don't have all loads
marked with has_volatile_ops.  Note there are more similar cases in
CCP and copyprop.  What can be substituted here is
ann->references_memory instead.  Conservatively just by adding

          || (!gimple_aliases_computed_p (cfun)
              && ann->references_memory))

or (noting that calls are handled separately -- and those are also
_not_ marked volatile w/o aliasing, like loads through a pointer)

	if (ann->references_memory
	    || ann->has_volatile_ops)


Richard.
