You asked for comments, so here goes my usual knee-jerk
reaction: Cool, but how do we know this works and doesn't
trivially break with anyone's next set of patches? Where's the
test-suite? Even one i386 or amd64-specific case from your
example code would be terrific. Consider that test-cases for
new features are mandatory in GCC, and for IMHO a good reason.
