Summary: Bad optimization with sin/cos

Sample code of the bug
When I compile and run the attached code, the optimizations make the code run
slower.
If I change the variable ang to double, the optimizations work (making the code
run faster than without optimization).
Checking the assembly output, I find that the compiler is changing the function
being called from cos and sin to sincosf instead of calling sincos to save a
cast. But it seems sincos is faster than sincosf (fpu is optimized for double).
