I believe if you try the current sources in the egcs CVS tree you'll find that
the second (and more important) loop in your testcase is optimized noticably
better now.


Here's what you were getting:

Here's what I get with the current sources:

.L11:
        movl -4(%ebp),%ebx
        movl 12(%ebp),%eax
        movl (%ebx,%edi,4),%ecx
        mull %ecx
        movl 8(%ebp),%ecx
        movl %eax,-12(%ebp)
        movl %edx,-8(%ebp)
        movl (%ecx),%eax
        xorl %edx,%edx
        pushl %edx
        pushl %eax
        movl -12(%ebp),%eax
        movl -8(%ebp),%edx
        pushl %edx
        pushl %eax
        call __umoddi3
        movl 8(%ebp),%edx
        addl $16,%esp
        movl %eax,(%ebx,%edi,4)
        incl %esi
        movl 4(%edx),%eax
        movl %eax,%edi
        cmpl %edi,%esi
        jb .L11
