Eh - what exactly is this for?  It doesn't simplify anything!

Which returns wrong results for FIX_TRUNC_EXPR and a double op.
This function cannot be implemented correctly with the given
signature (read: the type of the expression cannot be determined
by just looking at 'code' and 'op' in all cases).  Drop it.

This 'mode' thingie is broken.  Make that beast auto-detected
(gimple_in_ssa_p && is_gimple_reg_type).

Why not start simple and continue my overloading patches
(which dropped gimple_build_assign_with_ops3) to make all the
gimple stmt builders overloads of a single

gimple_build_assing ()

?  Do it incrementally though, as I expect that with each new overload
one function goes away and users are adjusted.  That way you also
get testing coverage - which your patch has none.

I'd say it should be

tree
gimple_convert (gimple_stmt_iterator *gsi, tree type, tree op)

which converts op to type, returning either 'op' (it's type is
compatible to 'type') or a new register temporary (please ICE
on !is_gimple_reg_type converts!) which initialization is
inserted at gsi (eventually needs an extra param for
the iterator update kind - unless we standardize on GSI_CONTINUE_LINKING
for all 'builders' which would make sense).

This gimple_convert should be used to replace all fold_convert
calls in the various passes (well, those that end up re-gimplifying
the result).

Rather than this the gsi_insert_* routines accepting a sequence should
get an optional location argument?  OTOH the above is orthogonal to that.
Btw, the above should assert that we don't overwrite an existing
"good" location.
