     case SSA_NAME:
       /* we can just compare by pointer.  */
-      return iterative_hash_pointer (t, val);
+      val = iterative_hash_host_wide_int (DECL_UID (SSA_NAME_VAR (t)), val);
+      val = iterative_hash_host_wide_int (SSA_NAME_VERSION (t), val);
+      return val;

why both?  I would say using SSA_NAME_VERSION should be enough?
