 Well.  This testcase would have been "self contained" (in that GCC
 itself is the testcase) and it *is* a clear regression, but given the
 current trend, what can we realistically do about it?
 
 (I find it a bit disturbing that several old PRs of mine which
 describe clear performance regressions are getting closed these
 days without any form of resolution, but let's assume there are
 other, better(?) PRs for this problem in our database.)
