Currently compiling that change into the code. I have a feeling that it 
will either confuse compare-elim.c or that it will be too strict and 
remove any possibility of optimization since with (use (reg:CC RCC)) we 
are not really saying that we are only interested in the carry flag 
instead of the whole thing. It will avoid anything clobbering RCC which 
is most of the instructions.

I will give it a spin and see what actually happens.
