Yeah, it uses the type to do

  t = fold_binary_loc (gimple_location (stmt), code, type, op0, op1);

and using the "original type" is surely the best idea for that.  It could
also simply use boolean_type_node nowadays, not sure if that
would cause more fails on the type checking that is needed in
forward_propagate_into_comparison.  I suppose at most for Ada,
so maybe you can check that.  If it doesn't make a difference
then stripping the type argument from the call chain and using
boolean_type_node in combine_cond_expr_cond would be a good
cleanup.

But the original suggested patch is ok if it bootstraps & tests if
you just want to go forward.

Thanks,
Richard.
