RTL peephole won't work because they operate just inside basic blocks. Don't know the retionale behind that limitation, appears that it's just for technical and implementational reasons. RTL peep need not to be confused by BBs, just code_labels etc. would bother. Text peepholes match but it might be tedious and error prone to work out instructions lengths or the correct instructions if jump offsets don't match. Maybe a way is in avr_reorg, but it would be quite tedious to work out all QI/HI/SI signed and unsigned combinations. And it must ensure that no other transformation takes place. There's bunch of special treatment in md and c and cc0 handling. E.g. I don't quite understand why jumps clobber cc0; btw not clobbering cc0 will not fix this PR.
