--- Comment #1 from Marc Glisse <glisse at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Yes, gcc's register allocator tends to be suboptimal near function boundaries
(handling the hard registers for input/output) and more attention was paid to
optimizing the interior of functions (after sufficient inlining, the rest is
usually negligible). There are several related PRs in bugzilla. Still, it would
be nice to improve this...
