[Bug c++/36861] New: code generation regression with -O3

[lothar at tradescape dot biz]

gcc 4.3.1 generates code with -O3 that is more than 10 times slower than with
-O0. gcc 4.2.3 does not show this behavior. I am going to attach the test case
that I used to produce these numbers:

with gcc 4.2.3:
( time ./avltest-nn >/dev/null; time ./avltest-no >/dev/null; time ./avltest-on
>/dev/null; time ./avltest-oo >/dev/null; )

real    0m1.112s
user    0m1.028s
sys     0m0.012s

real    0m0.078s
user    0m0.060s
sys     0m0.008s

real    0m0.940s
user    0m0.916s
sys     0m0.008s

real    0m0.088s
user    0m0.072s
sys     0m0.004s


with gcc 4.3.1:
( time ./avltest-nn >/dev/null; time ./avltest-no >/dev/null; time ./avltest-on
>/dev/null; time ./avltest-oo >/dev/null; )

real    0m0.974s
user    0m0.948s
sys     0m0.004s

real    0m12.936s
user    0m12.893s
sys     0m0.016s

real    0m1.128s
user    0m1.012s
sys     0m0.000s

real    0m0.104s
user    0m0.076s
sys     0m0.004s
