The handling of LO_SUM by alias.c:find_base_term causes a degradation on 32-bit
vortex on PPC when used with the new REG_POINTER attribute.
Making "find_base_term" handle LO_SUM the same way as alias.c:find_base_value
fixes the problem. Preventing "find_base_term" from returning NULL so easily
also fixes the problem.
A fix for 4.5 will most probably be a combination of these two approaches.
