I've been itching to remove this code for some time now. The comment suggests
that the code is actually unused, so I replaced the body of that "else if" with
gcc_unreachable (); and ran regtest/bootstrap and nothing broke, so I propose
to do away with it.
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux, ok for trunk?
