[PATCH] tree-optimization/103440 - Always track arguments, even when ignoring equiv params.

[Andrew MacLeod]

I need to adjust the original patch, I shouldn't have continued the loop 
when dealing with equivalences.    An equivalence is not the same as an 
undefined value...  we might be able to ignore the range from it for 
calculation purposes, but we cannot ignore the fact that it is a 
different SSA_NAME and may contain a different value that we do care about.

There are other checks in then loop which will allow us to assign an 
equivalence between the DEF and an argument if we are ignoring the other 
ssa_names..  such as when there are undefined values.

a_3 = PHI <a_1(4), a_2(6)>

if a_2 is undefined, we can create an equivalence between a_3 and a_1 as 
the value of a_2 is irrelevant and can be whatever we want it to be.

if a_2 is instead an equivalence with a_3, we do not want to create an 
equivalence between a_3 and a_1 in this block as we may then turn it 
into a copy.. we'd only be able to do this if there was an equivalence 
between a_1 and a_2, and we are not checking that.

Although we are may not be adding the range for a_2 into the cumulative 
knowledge of a_3's range, we do need to keep the edge to retain the copy 
as its value is important and could be different than the other 
argument... and we need to retain the copy when we go out of ssa.

This fixes that oversight, bootstrapped on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with no 
regressions.  OK?

Caveat..  the test case has an infinite loop without this fix, but 
degagnu doesn't seem to kill it, and my test suite runs go forever.. if 
there something I am missing?   The gcc.log claims that it timeouts 
after 300 second, but it doesn't kill the executable. I set the 
dg-timeout field, but that appears to be a compile time timeout, not 
runtime anyway.
