Avi,
I've now filed a bug in the upstream gcc database:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36040
And I came up with a reduced test case, available here:
http://people.redhat.com/clalance/rsi-test-case.tar.bz2
If I compile the code in the above and look at the disassembly, it shows the
problem; however, I can't reproduce the bug by actually running the code. I
suspect the %rsi register is always 0 when we start in this userland code, so I
never run into the bogus ja, but I just thought I'd mention it.
