You're assuming you're writing a compiler targeting _1_ specific
architecture.  It doesn't matter what is possible, what matters is what
GCC does.  Please go analysis GCC and report the deficiencies.  I
personally would love to know what they are, and how to make GCC do
better on non-x86 platforms.
